Ruthless Philippine President’s High Popularity Is the Result of Failed Democracy – Everything Law and Order Blog

As the death toll in President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs keeps climbing, so does his popularity. How can this be? Walden Bello says it is the result of a failed liberal democracy in the Philippines.

  1. What a one sided report. Bello is known supporter of the terrorist comunist party of the philippines. You only reported what these self serve opposition is yacking about and not the changes this man brought to our country…end of the elite rule. You are paid media.

  2. Hey. I know it's late but I'm here just watching people talk sht about shtty thngs like some kind of smartass locals living in that very country being a complete know-it-all.
    BTW, Merry Christmas!

  3. You forgot to disclose that Walden Bello is a communist propagandist which are considered terrorists in US and Phil. The irony is that he is now spouting the neoliberal rhetoric against duterte. Oh how money makes you sing.

  4. Disappointed in you Real News Network allowing the extreme left wing spokesperson for Aquino Parasite Pedophile Priest Party airtime. Let’s not forget, that this outfit was instrumental planting bullets in departing passenger luggage in airports specifically to extort money; stole foreign aid goods and money sent to alleviate the suffering of victims, they even buried donated rice to drive up prices, these bastards are rotten to the core; and buoyed up by a corrupt, self serving, lying theocracy bent on abusing kids, living free, deluding the stupid and collecting as much money as their greedy hands can hold, this is a theocratic hell where abortion is illegal as is divorce, unless you can pay big time; and within all of the squalor, poverty and deprivation magnificent churches flourish, even imported ones.
    I have never seen a thin nun, lazy bitches even have someone pushing their supermarket trolley for them while their driver waits.
    As for priests, I have never seen one out on the street, except for once and at that time “it” pushed to the front for his Big Mac and then had the audacity to come back because he didn’t get enough relish.
    What do these pontificating fuckers actually do for a living except collect money from the stupid, more kids, more candles, and don’t be so stupid to believe that the Little Sisters of Charity will give you any charity if you need it.
    There is no democracy here. Foreign investment is minimal with a political system which historically discriminates against foreigners.
    Ask yourself if you would invest in a place where the President is elected on his policies and his Vice President, from another party gets elected with policies diametrically opposed to those of the president?
    As for President Duerte, the church preaches against him because he seeks to curb their financial, ill gotten gains, nothing at all to do with human rights or extrajudicial killing, neither of which were of much significance in the inquisition or in speaking out about the holocaust.
    Wise up Real News Network and do your research, don’t devalue your stated objective.

  5. His only crime is that he allowed drug pushers to be killed. That's what nobody is saying in the video. They keep saying he killed 5000 PEOPLE.
    Nobody says 5000 drug pushers, who couldn't be stopped in any other way. The police are too few, the courts too corrupted.
    3 million people on drugs, do you think that's a joke? Duterte is the only one who managed to solve this.
    The real news is not real at all, it's a just a liberal joke. What are the phillipines supposed to do, let drugs run rampant?

  6. Millions dying from American bombs in the Middle East and all upset with Duterte and how many thousand deaths? The Western Media is after Duterte, because of being friendly with China and Russia. You must be loyal. obedient,vassel to Washington or their Western propaganda will smear you. How many hundreds of thousands are dying in Mexico in their drug wars? Blue/Red Revolution is turning Democrat/Republican follower into cult-like zombies.

  7. Yeah but here's the thing, Duterte also stated in an old interview that a lot of the pushers/people he was killing weren't even from his country. He said America was trying to overthrow him and cause regime change. He said the American/Israeli globalists got mad because they wanted him to attack China and he said no. He stated that it would be nothing more than suicide of his people. He also stated that he only had about 5 years left or so before he was stepping out of that position, but, he didn't know if he would make it the next 5 years. He jokingly laughed and said he wasn't sure if he would get to the end of that 5 years because he didn't know if or when America would send people for his head.

  8. If he's serious about finishing the problem, it would mean killing approximately 3,000 Pinoys per day for the next three years!

  9. Of course the people are fed up with corruption and widespread drug abuse, that's how Duterte got elected. He played on the disillusion of lower class with government corruption and the concerns of well off citizens with drug use. Think logically for a minute, wouldn't it make more sense to go after the distribution end of drug trade instead of the street dealers and users. Street dealers are a dime a dozen and as long as poverty is so rampant they will try anything to make money. Politicians the world over have resorted to this failed strategy of arresting users and small time dealers because it makes good press and quick results but there is more not less drugs on the streets! The drug problem will continue unabated until a different approach is used, one which uses common sense over an easy quick fix which does not work!!!!

  10. Since the beginning of civilization, the more intelligent upper-half of society has hoarded all of the land, wealth and political power. This being the root cause for why the laboring-class is reduced to the 50% working poor, and why they turn to drugs, to crime and to anything else that will help to survive the insanity of it.

  11. When fake democracy fails to solve the problems of the people, dictatorship is the only recourse. Wait until we see the cretin we get after Trump. If we don't solve this, the next president will turn on the gas chambers.

  12. Who instigated the investigation at the UN? Those who benefit from a drug problem in the Philippines. Hmmm…I wonder who that could be. Ah! Those damn space aliens. Kick ass Duterte!!!

  13. An investigation is not necessarily a conviction like the queen in Alice in wonderland…
    Drug addiction is a symptom of dispair that poverty and oppression bring. If you want to save a generation give them Help. Drug addiction being criminalized is a choice of the power structure to enslave for-profit or disposed of corporeally those that are susceptible to the rigged system in which they live. Drug use is an awful coping mechanism and addiction creates further entrapment to a situation that is already pretty bleak, hurting people emotionally and psychologically. To criminalize addicts these people instead of drug dealers (which usually are in cahoots with the state is strange logic if they wanted to help). It's all above class and power. I didn't know he said such awful crap. First it's your neighbor then it's you..

  14. Duterte's "Popularity" is NOT REAL! …. He is a Fascist Dictator who rules by Fear and Intimidation with an Iron Fist. — Most of the People who claim to love him only do so because they are SCARED SHITLESS of Him. … which is why the Orange Dictator with the tiny little girl hands LOVES the Monster Of Manila so dearly.

  15. US is using Philippines as a bait to cause war with CHINA. US is soooo coward that it cannot provoke war in the American Soil so they end up are trying use Philippines as a war zone between them and China. What does US know about HUMAN RIGHTS when COPS kill melanated people every day, all day; US bombing countries w/o nukes i.e. SYRIA/ IRAQ and now BULLYING the Philippines (no nukes) to go to war with CHINA (has nukes). It is clear to see that US is behind these war provoking news, statements, etc. PHILIPPINES has NEVER attacked ANY country. It is ALWAYS the US behind these bloody wars.

  16. As an X-Pat living in the RP part time every year, the irony that the US isn't boycotted by the world because of our illegal wars and the support of US puppet dictators is sad. The fact we are not shamed by our own complicity in the financial capture of the world that is driving a new kind of neo-feudalism is unforgivable.
    Duterte is facing the same problems as we workers are suffering from in the US. The ruling plutocrats, monopoly capitalism doesn't work for the workers and breeds hopelessness. Just like here, we have a drug crisis. Until people can't take it anymore and rise-up. But sadly, voting will not get rid of the cancer of the billionaire class and the corrupt system that made them.

  18. In short, US businesses dealing drugs on Philippines destroying that country utterly. Now UN (US) wants that US dealers have diplomatic immunity and can sell drugs without persecution. Duterte said: No.
    He trying to rebuild Philippines, eradicate poverty and make positive relations with neighbors, end misery which US and colonialists brought to them. He know that US (UN) is their enemy, and that enemy do everything to destroy them to draw them back into banana state.

  19. Ignorant people will Always choose for their own enslavement. Look at Trump Cult. Trump could murder their parents, and they would still support him. That's STATISM!
