3 narco-mayors surrender to ‘Bato’
THREE POLITICIANS from Lanao del Sur surrendered to the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Camp Crame on Friday, just hours after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered law enforcers to “shoot on sight” local government officials involved in illegal drugs.

His derogatory remarks about an Australian woman who ended up being raped and murdered
in the Philippines just shows what a cretin Duterte is
I must admit that he is getting very cosy with the military. With all the mayors being drug dealers and leaving office, I am sure puppets will take their places. I can see it going one way more than the other. A coup could happen or a policed state and everyone scared of their shadows. Echos of what happened before?
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
He seems to have what I term a 'drinker's nose'.
i am from davao and i grew up in davao. i have experienced the peace and order in davao and how good davao is to live compare to other cities.
these killings they are not done by the police or any related to duterte, these people who kill are people that are hired by these drug personalities/boss/drug lords/protectors to kill those pushers and users who knows about their doings and can point them to the authorities. these buy bust operations done by the police, they will only be killed if the arrest wont go smoothly for example the criminals wont surrender peacefully and fight back using their guns.
now, if you fear of your lives now and think that the philippines is not safe anymore because of how the govt deal with drugs then secure your family and yourself and leave but i tell you me as a filipina has never felt so happy with the progress of the philippines for the past month since he took over and excited to visit home.
duterte has been in the position for just over a month and the things he have done has been satisfying for the majority of the filipinos. previous presidents have done any of that in their 6 years in term? NO.
we all have our own opinion and outlook in this matter but me as a dabawenya and a filipina i couldnt be any happier with the progress the philippines is experiencing now.

Like many people from Davao you regard Durterte as some kind of god like person who can do no wrong
I put it to you that Davao is not drug and crime free now so how he is going to eradicate drugs in the whole of the Philippines ?
You say that Durterte is satisfying the majority of the filipino people so far
Well that can change fast and as more families become effected by Durterte's murderous thugs and the death toll goes even higher people may start to rethink how good he actually is
I have no problems with Durterte trying to get rid of drugs in the Phills and thats what everyone wants i just feel he is going the wrong way about it
never heard of anything from dabawenyos or anyone that we worship him like god, we never do and we never will. we are in awe of how he manage to changed the old crappy davao to a liveable davao now. 100% no crime? no but manageable, people have discipline, people are scared to commit crime because they know that there will be consequences.
ohh dont worry about families change their satisfaction about duterte because it wont happen the way you think, they will adore more how dedicated he is to change MY COUNTRY, how he love the filipino people, how sick and tired he is of the filipinos being mucked about and how corruption has eaten the philippines in many years.
many years the philippines has struggled with the after effects of drug using, child as young as 2 are victims of rape, robbery to feed their habbits and many more crimes that makes us all filipino sick to think why did the past govts let drug trade became so easy in the philippines. any president done anything about that? no, nothing, NO ONE!
i respect how you feel about it but you have never felt what filipinos have been feeling for decades of rubbish and neglect from the govt and to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel because the new administration is working hard to make philippines better then for us that is SATISFYING.
and oh! marcos is a soldier before he became a president and in that respect and reason why he will be buried in the libingan ng mga bayani like any soldier are entitled to.
another thing, majority of your links i notice comes from abs cbn-gma- i wont believe majority of what media has been reporting or saying as it is known that media in the philippines are biased. tested and proven during the election period.
From someone who knows nothing, absolutely zilch, about either Davao City or President Duterte you have a very itchy tongue.
As I recall you've never set foot in Davao, the 4th safest city in the world, so it begs the question about your sources of information.
Why not focus your posts on those aspects of life here that you actually have personal experience of, that may be much more useful. IMHO
If you look back through London_Manila's posts you'll soon come to the conclusion that he has rarely got anything positive to say about anything. He has a thing about people in authority, especially those elected by a majority vote
My guess is he works in the public sector and an active union member
Well said, couldn't agree more
He was very accessible as Mayor of Davao. I met with him a few times at the City Hall.
He has some very clear and important strategies and policies that will be a big benefit to the majority of those who need to see the country doing the right thing for all, not just for the privileged few.
As you say he has only been in office for a month.............
I have met him as well many times before sir peter, when there is an election campaign in our barangay or if its the barangays fiesta us kids are asked for a dance number. after we danced we get to meet him, he always ask if we have eaten already. he has big love to children and he is dedicated to his job.
Let's hope he also locks up some of the crooks who've been running the country since Marcos buggered off with his loot... his Mrs and kids still living in luxury of course.

Durterte reckons Marcos is qualified for a heroes burial
My father was killed during marcos time. I have no problems him being buried in the heroes burial. He is long time dead and have nothing to do with the present. What is done is done. Learn from the mistakes in the past and move on. At least Philippines have a true leader whose interests are serving the Filipino people and not the oligarchs. If Duterte would keep chasing the oligarchs who are crooks like previous administration did, nothing will happen to the poor filipino people.
You have to be a Filipino to truly understand what is it like to be.
Sure I don't like the killings. A barangay captain cousin of mine who is a drug pusher, who at one point shoot my brother on the foot for not able to pay for the shabu my brother owed years ago has been killed, not by the police ir army but by one of the hired killer. I feel sad for what is going on why.this have to be this way. But it is better than my brother. Right?
Life as we make it
Most Filipino`s that I know don`t give a toss what foreigners think really.
They understand their country`s problems far better than any superior thinking outsider and they voted resoundingly for this guy `Duterte` to resolve them..
I respect their decision and I wish them all the best in the future..
As melovesengland says..If you dont like it..Leave or visit elsewhere.
