At two o'clock in the morning of July 31, 2017, a fierce gun battle broke out at the home of the mayor of Sammian, Philippines.
The gun battle lasted for more than two hours, and the murderous atmosphere filled the city, and the citizens locked the doors and windows, not even daring to look out.
Early the next morning, the freshly baked newspaper read:
The mayor of Sammian's family of 11 died in the early hours of the morning gun battle, and it was the Philippine armed forces that killed them.
The next fierce hand is the President of the Philippines, Duterte.
Duterte
Duterte, known as the rogue president of the Philippines, is also a strange figure like no other in politics.
When he was young, he fought with people, and the knife saw blood and killed people, only because the other party looked at him twice;
Entering the political arena has not seen half maturity, spraying Obama as "dog mother-raising" and scolding Ban Ki-moon for "you are a fool";
He sits on the presidency, with one hand of power and the other of blood, killing people like hemp but admired by all.
How did such a hooligan figure sit on the presidency of the Philippines? With such a tyrannical personality, why is it highly sought after by the Filipino people? And why does he hate the United States and smile at China?
Davao City Bully
Duterte was born in 1945 into an elite filipino family.
When he was born, Xiao Du's father was still a lawyer, and his mother was a people's teacher; so the bookish mendi, the educated son was a street bully.
Skipping class, fighting, and entering a game are commonplace for Xiao Du. It's just that at this time, his parents are busy squeezing into the political arena, so they have no time to take care of his "evil road growth method".
Duterte Family portrait
When Xiao Du was 13 years old, his father was elected mayor of Davao City, and since then he has begun this brilliant political career.
At this time, his father was the mayor of Davao City; 28 years later, Xiao Duzi inherited his father's aspirations and took over the position of mayor of Davao City; and after Xiao Du rose all the way to the presidency, it was Xiao Du's daughter Sarah who took over the mayor's position.
On the surface, everyone said that Davao City was the political base camp of the Duterte family; behind the scenes, political enemies scolded them as the land snakes here.
And Xiao Du, the overlord snake in the earth snake, became more and more unscrupulous under his father's power.
At the age of 14, he secretly flew helicopters in the army, and he flew into the sky to scare everyone;
At the age of 16, he killed a man in a fight in the street, simply because "others looked at him twice".
At this time in Davao City, everyone heard Duterte's name, and they were all frightened and could not afford to hide.
After the age of 20, Xiao Du suddenly changed sex, and perhaps he suddenly realized that even if he is a hooligan, he must be cultured.
So he temporarily accepted a bloody body and immersed himself in studying, and even let him enter the University of Lysim and get a bachelor's degree in arts.
Perhaps it is the artistic edification of this college time that makes Xiao Du "export dirty" and spit out fragrant fragrances in future political disputes.
After graduation, Xiao Du continued his studies and obtained a lawyer's license; at this time, a cultured and law-aware hooligan was about to enter the Philippine political arena.
It was also at this time that Xiao Du grew into Lao Du in heavy tempering.
Old hooligans in politics
In 1988, Lao Du took over his father's political legacy and was elected mayor of Davao City.
The mayor's seat sat for 28 years; until Old Du lifted his ass and became the president of the Philippines.
Before becoming mayor, Davao City was a famous sin capital in the Philippines, with drug dealers trading on the street, women standing in the city soliciting customers, and fighting for their lives in the streets.
As soon as Lao Du took office, he formed the "Davao City Death Squad".
As the leader of the group himself, more than a dozen members of the team each rode a Harley motorcycle, wore camouflage suits, acted late at night, and saw thieves catching thieves to eliminate evil and promote good, so as not to be intimidating.
As long as they see any evil in their eyes, they can be executed immediately and do not have to report it.
Under such strict management, Davao City has changed from the capital of sin to the third most civilized city in the Philippines.
And a small city, just Lao Du tried the bull knife; governing the entire Philippines, you can see Lao Du's fierceness and iron fist.
In 2016, when Lao Du ran for the presidency of the Philippines, he said:
Please forget about human rights, when I become president, I will kill all drug dealers, robbers, idle people.
And Lao Du never said a lie, and from a series of figures after he came to power, you can see how iron-blooded this old man has.
In the six months since Lao Du was elected president, he has killed more than 6,000 criminals; after three years in office, he has killed nearly 20,000 people.
At that time, the two best places for business in the Philippines were police stations and funeral parlors.
Every day, the police station is full of doors, the small drug dealers who come from the police department have squeezed their heads, and 1.3 million drug dealers have turned themselves in in just one year;
Funeral supplies in funeral homes are in short supply, and there are criminals executed by the government every day, and funeral supplies are rising all the way.
In the anti-drug war led by Lao Du, the most sensational is the "Sanmian City Mayor's Massacre".
After Lao Du took office, in addition to uprooting drug dealers, he did not let go of the bureaucrats who had eaten with the drug lords in black and white.
However, some political door valves, which are deeply rooted in the local area, are not something that Lao Du can easily shake.
Among them, there is the mayor of Samian City, Renaldo.
The Reinaldo family is the head snake of Sammian City, firmly in control of the city's political economy and drug lifeline; the mayor's son-in-law is one of the biggest drug lords in the Philippines.
Earlier, Lao Du had accused the Reinaldo family of drug trafficking; but it was denied.
Mr. Reynaldo claims that he has never been involved in drugs, but has been active in fighting drugs; the president's accusations are nothing more than political conspiracies.
The local judicial department has also set up many obstacles to prevent Lao Du from pursuing it.
However, what they did not understand was that Lao Du had never been a reasonable and judicial person.
In the early morning of July 31, 2017, under the order of Lao Du, a well-equipped armed army rushed into the home of the mayor of Sanmian City.
After a fierce battle, the mayor, wife, son, brother, sister and other 11 members of the family all died in the gun battle.
In this regard, Lao Du explained lightly:
When the police were on official duty, they resisted and died unjustly.
Although it is rough and bloody, it does not affect the Filipino people's pursuit of Lao Du.
When Du Lao first came to power, the popular support rate was 33%, and after 4 months in power, the support rate soared all the way to 91%, and all the way to the peak, it never fell.
However, when some people rejoice, some people question it; for example, some countries that have been clamoring for "democratic civil rights".
However, Old Du ke is a Bachelor of Arts, and a belly of ink is not in vain. All the international doubts will shatter into a bubble in the fragrance of his mouth.
Mouth cannon master
To say that the political arena is poisonous, the old anti-voting is at the forefront of the list.
When Lao Du launched the anti-drug war at home, the AMERICAN political circles accused him of being "dictatorial, bloody, and an unreasonable tyrant."
After Lao Du listened, his eyebrows fell down and he opened his mouth and scolded:
My ancestors were all killed by you!" Now what face do you have to talk to me about human rights!
At the 2016 ASEAN summit, Lao Du met with then-US President Barack Obama.
Obama pretended to be a humble gentleman and said to Lao Du:
I admit that drugs are a big problem, but I think we should solve the problem in a more reasonable way.
Old Du looked at Obama and spat out a sentence with disdain:
You're a bitch! The Philippines is long gone from being your colony.
As a result of this incident, Obama was so frightened that he canceled a separate meeting with Lao Du the next day.
Afterwards, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stood up to make up for Obama, and was directly choked back by Lao Du:
You idiot, shut up!
Lao Du's recoil is rough and simple, but the words are harsh, and there is no hint of politicians' implications and conspiracies.
In the political arena, there are also people who attack the many mistresses of Lao Du, misbehaving, indulging in femininity, and so on.
In this regard, Lao Du did not hide nor hide, and did not forget to export ridicule while receiving everything according to the order:
This is a world of hypocrisy, and who among you does not have a mistress?
Women are a must in my life, and without women I am going to die.
I am separated from my wife, and I am not sexually incompetent, not indulgent in femininity, what do you want me to do?
The words don't make sense, but they can't be faulted - this is Lao Du's words.
Enemies are still allies
Compared with the previous Philippine President Aquino III, the relationship between Lao Du and us has entered a "honeymoon period".
For example, last year, the United States hoped to deposit some nuclear weapons in the Philippines, which was strongly opposed by Lao Du.
Faced with the pressure of the United States, he hit back like this:
I have promised China that the Philippines will never be allowed to have U.S. nuclear weapons; it is absolutely impossible for the United States to put nuclear weapons in our place!
The timekeeper, for Junjie also.
Xu is aware of China's strength and progress, and Lao Du has maintained a good relationship with us since he came to power; he has publicly stated many times that the Philippines is a good friend of China.
When the epidemic was raging, Lao Du also shouted to China - hoping to become the first buyer of Chinese vaccines.
On February 28, 2021, a military aircraft slowly landed on a military airport in Manila.
On this plane, it is the Chinese vaccine that is loaded.
Facing the Chinese ambassador, Duterte was extremely excited, bent down and bowed, and said sincerely:
The arrival of the Chinese vaccine has brought ultimate hope to the Philippines' fight against the epidemic. Please convey my gratitude to the Chinese government and the people of Chinese!
I hope that no matter when and where, Duterte can remember what he has said, and his grateful heart.
This strange Philippine president will step down as president in four months.
In the international arena, it seems that some sources of happiness will be lost.
And the political arena is devious, with the departure of Lao Du, there will be a few more storms, we can only wait and see.
