Do you really think a forum where people just pay lip service to Duterte is so brilliant

There is another side to Duterte which you and most others on this site fail to see

I have been proved right before like when i pointed out that Mindanao was not safe and you and the rest jumped on me for even suggesting that So what happened a few weeks back in Davao !

Instead of just defending Duterte all the time and pretending that everything is just so fine and dandy in the Philippines with a madman at the helm i suggest you come into the real world

Like most of Duterte's supporters you just can't take any criticism of him and i don't find that very healthy at all

Most of the members on here just go along with what a few mods decide to post and even jump to your defense

Anyone with their own brain and different views is stamped on and a forum should reflect all views even if you personally don't care for them........

Mark my words i will be proved right on the Duterte issue in the long run and then we can all look back on this thread with amazement

There is nothing positive to post about Duterte and negative views are just as worthy as positive ones

You should be welcoming all views on Duterte and not just views that you agree with

People should be made aware of the other side of Duterte and my links come from bona fide Philippine news websites and thats not propaganda that someone tried to accuse me of before

I like the way some on here just to suite their own argument accuse any Philippine news website that dares to post anything negative about Duterte as being biased

So you only want forum members that post only pro Duterte views and agrees with everything any mod decides to post
If some terrorist, some person who has a grudge against others, for whatever reason be it personal, religous, or whatever reason, decides that he/she wants to plant a bomb somewhere then its difficult but can be done, i can go back as far as the Birmingham Pub Bombings, or more recently we had some in London did that mean the Government of the time were Madmen or Women ?, is the present President of France, Hollande similar to Duterte of course they were/are not.. so your example of what happened in Mindanao ie Davao cannot be down to Duterte..

It has become apparent that you have a clear dislike of Duterte, i will read, and listen to any balanced arguement for or against, but you my friend constantly post negative DU30 propaganda, i think it was me that used that word previously, i also said maybe you may have other reasons for constantly posting such biased news..
I dont claim Duterte is perfect, he makes mistakes like all of us do, but for YOU so say that there is NOTHING positive to post about Duterte is clearly wrong, and its comments like that that get peoples backs up, there are people who live in the Philippines who can see improvements being made, yes Duterte does do things his way, but thats what the Filipino people voted for, he didnt lie about what he would do beforehand, and now he is doing it, who are you or i to disregard the wishes of people who wanted that.. wether it proves to be right or wrong in the long run no-one can tell.
All that most of us on here are asking for is give us the TRUE facts from BOTH sides, what you are doing is giving us one sided views, i can only presume that you wanted the vast majority of Filipino people to continue as before, which was to struggle to find work, to struggle to afford health Care, to struggle to run a small business, to struggle to put food on the table, and clothes on there back, and to be exploited by the system that existed for many years, and while that was going on, others were making money through corrupt, and illegal practices that have been rife throughout Government and the Country as a whole.. If you do support that, well shame on you.. The Filipino people decided in a fairly run election that they had had enough of that, and they wanted an opportunity to improve there lives.. they decided Duterte was the man for that, and they elected him as there President, the least anyone can do you included, is give him time to achieve this, it was never going to be easy, and so its proving.. obviously some people are kicking and screaming because they can see there opportunity for further ill gotten gains being taken away..
Duterte has invited the UN, the EU, Human rights groups, or indeed anyone who cares to come and see for themselves whats actually happening, all he asks is that they be fair in the things that they see and report.
Can i just suggest you keep a constant eye out in London for anything untoward or suspicous that you may see in as we have been warned that Terrorist activity is highly likely, but then Im saying as you were saying its not safe in London or anywhere else in the World, Mindanao is no exception to that..
Nothing against you personally LM but i am asking you to be fair with your viewpoint.. I May or May not agree with everything Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem, or UKIP stand for or do, but i dont come here every day bemoaning that fact...
