Economy with Duterte

Hi! This is my last blog. It is about the Good and Bad things about President Duterte Administrative.

Ang tawag nila sa pamamahala ni president duterte at "kamay na bakal". SInabi nila yon dahil siguro sa sobrang higpit nya sa pamamahala para na rin siguro sa ating bansa. Ilan sa mga nagawa nya ang pagpapahuli sa mga nagdudrugs sa iba't-ibang lugar ng bansa. Sumunod at ang pagkakaroon ng curfew para sa mga minor de eded. He stands in support of LGBT rights. Though he sometimes publicly throws around pejorative terms like queer, Duterte has also firmly condemned discrimination against the LGBT community in the Philippines. He has said that as President, he would consider legalizing same-sex marriage and supports allowing LGBT people to serve in the military. In an appearance on a Philippine talk show last summer, he said that he'd have no issue with his son if he came out as gay, and said that "everyone deserves to be happy. He’s a genuine punisher. People throw around the term “strongman” a lot these days, but Duterte lives up to the billing. Known as “Duterte Harry” and “The Punisher,” Duterte served as mayor of Davao City for more than 22 years. Trained as a lawyer, he vowed to clean up a city so notorious for its crime it was once tagged the “Nicaragua of Asia.” Today, Davao’s per capita crime rate is the lowest in the country. But the methods Duterte allegedly used to pull this off have drawn condemnation from international human rights groups. It’s widely believed that Duterte sanctioned extrajudicial killings by roving packs of vigilantes. These death squads targeted petty criminals, street children and drug dealers, according to Human Rights Watch, claiming the lives of more than 1,000 people, 132 of them children. Duterte appointed himself judge, jury and executioner—and the people of Davao loved him for it. In a March survey conducted in the city by Ateneo de Davao University, 88 percent of people polled said they would vote for Duterte as president.

The pros

       Duterte has rid Davao City of numerous lawless elements that plague most Philippine cities. He is rabidly against illegal drugs and made his mark early on as mayor by going after drug dealers and pushers with a vengeance. The result is that over the years, drug use in Davao has all but disappeared.

Other criminal elements such as swindlers, racketeers, cat burglars, and scam artists have received personal dressing-downs by Duterte after they are apprehended, sometimes accompanied by public ridiculing to make sure they got the mayor's message loud and clear.

No offense is too small for Duterte who this year personally confronted a visitor to Davao who insisted on smoking inside a restaurant despite repeated warnings. Duterte showed up, and in typical fashion made the man swallow his unfinished cigarette.

Duterte appears prepared to go head-to-head with powerful criminal syndicates who have local politicians and police in their pockets. Corrupt government officials will likely find life difficult under a Duterte administration. He appears to be the iron-handed, yet honest leader, that many Filipinos want.

The cons

      Duterte appears to have little patience for the law and appears more willing to take matters into his own hands to achieve his own ends, noble though they may be.

He is rumored to have connections to vigilante groups in Davao responsible for the spate of killings of those involved with illegal drugs. Some of those killed were barely in their teens. Ties to vigilante groups should be a big red flag to any law-abiding citizen. At best it shows a cavalier attitude towards the law and at worst a complete disregard for it.

Like Vice President Jejomar Binay, Duterte has skirted the country's term limits law by having a relative serve as a "placeholder" for a single term, thereby allowing him to run again for three consecutive terms. It is not against the law to do that but it certainly violates the spirit of the law. If you're a mayor or governor in the Philippines, you might get away with it, but if you aspire for the highest office in the land, that kind of sly behavior should be totally unacceptable. There is a lack of statesmanship and fair play from politicians who resort to this underhanded tactic.

Bad things about President Duterte

1. Extrajudicial killing
2. Death Penalty
3. Slow rate of work opportunities
4. Same sex marriage
5. Innocent individual were involve on drugs

Ilan lang yan sa mga good and bad things na nagawa nya sa bansa natin. Una hindi ako pabor sa sinasabi nya na same sex marriage. Kasi unang-una ginawa lang at ang babae at lalaki so bakit papayagang ikasal ang magkaparehas na gender? Oo sa pagmamahal walang sino-sino, pwedeng mong mahalin kung sino yung gusto mo. pwede naman kayo magmahalan pero wag na dumating sa point na magpapakasal pa kayo kasi respeto na lang sana kay God. Mahalin nyo nalang yung isa't-isa. Sunod yung sa death penalty, hindi din ako pabor ditto. Kasi kung may nagawang mali ang isang tao pwede naming ikulong na lang sya ng panghabang buhay kasi isa sa uto ng Diyos at bawal ang pumatay  ng tao. Lahat naman ng tao at kaya pa sigurong magbago. Sunod naman ay yung paghuli sa gumagamit ng drugs, may mga inosenteng tao na nadadamay sa pag gamit ng drugs yung hindi nila alam na drugs pala ang laman ng isang bagay na yun.

Kailangan balance ang pagbibigay focus nila sa iba't-ibang problema sa bansa natin. Dapat mas bigyan pansin nila ang economic growth ng bansa at ang pagkakaroon ng employment. Para mas marami ang magkaroon ng trabaho at umonti ang mga naghihirap sa bansa natin. At kailangan meron din tayong strong partnership sa ibang bansa kasi isa yun sa way to improve the current state of the Philippines.
