One of my coworkers on another team is from there. He's now an American citizen and every time I bring up Duterte, he says "all the news about him is a lie. Don't believe what they say about his country. Duterte is a great guy."
But he also votes for Trump, which means Duterte truly is a terrible person.
I hope the mother and her son Rest In Peace and justice is served.

OP
OP
More information is out and he's a problem officer, and is not very good
The police officer Jonel Nuezca was home, when a Boga(Firecracker for celebration) went off outside<No info on who use it>
Jonel pulled out his gun and taking his daughter and went and confronted his neighbor, 52 year old Sonya Gregorio and her son 25 year old Frank Greogorio
No information on if they had past quarrel, but they immediatly started argueing, Frank's mother came out to hold her son back and shield him from Jonel, while Jonel's underage daughter is esculating the situation, and yelling, my father is not a murderer, he's a policeman, argueing with 52 year old Sonya, while Jonel has a gun pointed at Frank's head, while Sonya yelling back, I don't care, I don't care if you are police.
Jonel then fired three shot at Sonya and two shot to Frank, neighbor hearing and seeing came to help, but got chased and hit away by Jonel and his daughter preventing them from giving aid, and physically hitting them, including the daughter pulling on the hair of a older lady to get her to leave,
After a short while, Jonel seem to have realized he made a big mistake, and got on his motorbike and rode away, but the footage have already been shared on social media and news are reporting it and he turned himself in a few hour ago.
Now that his identiy is release, his history as a police is also now known
He has had two case of "legally killing person"(New rule that Durate put in to kill drug dealer)
Embazzlement, failing drug test, bad attidude, disrespecting the court and more
And also, why can he have his gun, if he is going home on holiday for vacation, it is because of new executive order by the president that allow police to carry gun even when not being police.

警察父女的殺人執照？菲律賓世界悲憤的「塔拉克母子槍殺案」 | 轉角國際 udn Global
「我爸才不是殺人魔，我爸是警察！」亞洲最大的天主教國家菲律賓，本該正進入耶誕節－新年的歡慶氣氛，不料一部在社群網路上瘋傳的「殺人影片」卻引爆了全國怒火。事件發生在菲律賓呂宋島中部的塔拉克，52歲的鎮民婦人索妮亞．葛瑞果里奧（Sonya Gregorio）與她25歲的兒子法蘭克（Frank...
Thats cold blooded murder
Over some fucking firecrackers.
I hope some meaningful change comes from this

Sadly, no.
The government already washed their hands and said this is an isolated case.
I'm sorry but I fucking hate how it states last week the international criminal court said they was a good case that human rights may have been abused during this fucker's war on drugs.....may??? MAY??? mother fucker has been openly bragging about shooting people who are suspected of taking or having drugs on sight with no trial or way of defense and we still out here acting like human rights may have been abused to play nice? This dude is outright ordering mass murders and the world and human rights courts are at a "may" be abused situation? The fuck out of here. I hope one day he finally faces justice from his people and not a nice one at that.
It seems obvious that he is letting the police and military have free reign so when it comes time for him to remain forever leader they will back his play.
Are there term limits?
Are there term limits?
People in the Philippines love strong personalities. That's why most people in the entertainment industry end up being politicians. Manny Pacquiao, the great boxer, is rumored to run for the next elections.
There are but almost everyone in the government is now under the president and most of the higher ups are appointed by him. He also appoints key military people as heads of non-military units. Almost everyone in the congress and the senate bow down to his whims. So yeah, country is pretty much done.
Man that's really terrible how did this guy get voted in did he just start doing all this stuff after he was elected or was this something he ran on doing and people just liked the sound of it?
I know we have our own problems here in the United States but this is just pure madness. Although that being said I have no doubt Trump would do the same thing if he could get away with it.
My (admittedly superficial) understanding is that Duterte is popular because he supposedly stands against corruption, and corruption is so rampant there that it's just seen as a way of life. The extra-judicial killings are a problem, sure, but corruption and drugs are seen as worse, and he's working against those.
Yes there's term limits, it's only one term. Also Duterte has health problems so he's not going full dictator by trying to change the constitution. His allies have tried delaying the next election though, which is in 2022.
Well I guess if there's any silver lining it's that he will hopefully only serve one more term if he can force his way into it.
I suppose there's no guarantee that somebody just as bad won't take his place but at least there's the knowledge that it won't be him for the next 20 plus years.
I don't know much about Manny the person but he seems like the type that would have the fame and balls to take on such a monster.
Nope. He only uses drugs for him to have something to be against for. In order to become a hero, he needs his villain sort of thing.
Things are a lot worse now here.His handling of the pandemic showed his true colors as an incompetent leader. He's so big with giving impunity that cases like abuse are now rising.
No, another term of him would be horrible. lol
Him having ailing health is good for the country's democracy, well what's left of it. Also his VP is his current opposition, since the President and VP are not voted in as a ticket, they run separate elections.
Duterte 2 is if his daughter runs in 2022.
Fuck Duterte and fuck this guy and people like him. Pieces of shit.
Poor lady and her son... I hope justice prevails.
