    Y'know, Jamie ... you're possibly right. Tbh ... I wasn't a fan of his during my time in the Phils. But he sort of "grew on me" in that, I believe his "bark's worse than his bite" - a bit like Dedworth's, really.

    One thing he is not, and thats PC But he is a genuine man, not frightened to say what he thinks in plain language.

    Ask any pinoy what are his policies and they all say corruption and law and order,but you cant build a presidency on that,does anyone know what policies he intends to implement
    Thats easy to implement his policy of killing as many innocent people as he can

    Duterte is Judge Jury and Executioner

    Expect a military coup at some stage if the crackpot starts killing too many people

    Allow me to predict that this will all end in tears

    Maybe his recent ridiculous quote of "kill me before i kill you" might just happen

    He wasnt that bad a shot from what i can remember given it was a combat shoot,but he will have to go some to fill his 100,000 bodybags with 911's surprisingly enough the peso has risen slightly against the dollar in the last day or so



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Lest it be forgotten ... Duterte was the man responsible for introducing '911' to Davao, the ONLY city outwith the US and Canada to boast such a facility!

    achievement in itself is something I had [inadvertently] omitted to mention earlier.

    It might be true in the Philippines, but other countries have 911 as well (or whichever number they have) not just US & Canada.

    Indeed he did Arthur which in itself is a badge of honour over there.
    Delighted to see that he had such an emphatic victory and I hope he fulfills the dreams of those who voted for him.
    To my mind with the exception of Miriam it was straight choice of more of the same or lets be bold and go for something new. I'm glad they decided to be bold and I hope it pays off.

    Thanks so much, Marco ... for being the second of two members so far to openly express support for the man whom I've long~believed to be the only candidate capable of putting our wives' beloved homeland back on the firm footing their nation richly deserves.

    I would never declare my support for somebody who I knew very little about. Also I'm not a citizen of the Philippines (and am never likely to be). So, moot point as far as I'm concerned.

    That is unlikely to happen ... as the Military pledged its full support by voting unanimously for him.

    Tears of joy ... in that - at long~last - the nation has chosen a leader who CAN ACTUALLY be trusted!

    Maybe it will; hopefully, it won't. But ... as he frequently assured [previously unprecedented] gatherings of followers, 'tis a chance he's more than prepared to risk.

    Looks like his toughest job will be the Constitutional changes that GMA failed to accomplish.. If he can somehow persuade those in the Senate that represent the big controlling money families to do away with stuff like the 60/40 rule he would really have accomplished something that in theory could really change the country...Turn it on its head in fact..
    I remain VERY skeptical that this is possible but I will be watching very closely to see how his plans unfold in actuality.
    A Federal style Government could work very well in the Philippines given the chance..
    Perhaps temporary martial law and executive orders for the good of the people could have merit..
    Lets see what happens..But I wish him luck as he now has a very clear mandate directly from his people.

    From what I have been reading just lately there could be a problem with the "results"..
    Some Data Analysts are saying that the charts that deal with the Vice president race have most probably been "manipulated" although other mathematical analysts may disagree...

    Miriam Defensor seems to be saying something similar..Marcos has suggested that its about the Establishments "Plan B"..He suggests that this plan involves installing a Liberal as V.P before impeachment proceedings...VP becomes President.
    There may be trouble ahead!

    I just hope that the Senate, the Plotters and whoever is that attempt to change things, or Impeach Duterte I hope thay they realise President Duterte has not just won, he has won by a massive Majority, there was NO fiddling of figures, NO lucky win, it was a massive overwhelming choice by the people of the Philippines, and i for one hope they allow him to try to change things.

    In Davao there is NO smoking in Public.
    No Alchohol in Public after midnight,
    No dogs roaming loose around the streets,
    No Firecrackers being let off,
    He is now mentioning No children to be on the Streets after 10-00pm without parents..
    He is saying there should be Freedom of Information.

    Some people may think those are only small things, but they dont seem to me to be the actions of a Dictator, Yes he may well have to Dictate that they ARE going to happen, but they are small steps towards a better Philippines.

    I agree with most of those measures all except the damned smoking ban... People can buy smokes LEGALLY in any store and pay a sin tax that helps finance Phil health.. Then they make it illegal to smoke outside of private homes... Utter BS!!

    If he can show that the bank accounts that he had all these millions in are legitimate and then explain why he didnt include them in his SALN disclosure then there will be no need or threats of an impeachment.
    You cant really promise to route out corruption before proving that you,yourself and your accounts are clean.
    Its also not much good answering the question "where did the 211 Million PHP go" and just answer that it all went on "Happy happy"!!!!
    He will have to come up with something better then that!!! LoL.

    It's astounding that public smoking bans are enforced in cities like Dumaguete & Davao but hey it's totally OK for people to drive their vehicles intoxicated.
