    Agreed he is as daft as a brush

    He says he is going to eradicate all Crime and drugs in the Philippines but he cant even do that in Davao City
    For me he comes across as a typical barangy bully boy captain who opens his mouth without engaging his brain
    I would rather any of the other candidates winning the election than this guy

    He owns many properties and lots across the Philippines mostly in other family members names
    He threatened to reveal all his bank accounts but his campaign team don't seem very keen on that one

    I would not put it past him to try and start a war with China

    Just being linked to any death squads should make him unelectable but sadly in the Philippines it does not

    A tough talker who shoots from the hip yes but as a president on the world stage he would be totally out of his depth

    Much worse than Trump

    The department of justice has just confirmed its investigation into the unexplained killings perpetrated by the Davao death squads and the involvement of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte

    No? Then how about this?

    And that was back in February 2013 ... long before he was coerced into running in the Presidential race.

    You think so? I doubt if many of his Davaonian constituents would agree with you.

    Oh really? So I take it you'd prefer corrupt individuals like Roxas ... whose mind seems to've "mysteriously" gone blank when quizzed as to the whereabouts of the Yolanda Typhooon funds ... or Binay, who "fiddled the books" when he was Mayor of Makatti ... or Poe who lied about her citizenship.

    The last thing the Philippines needs is this crackpot running the country

    He had a go at the Pope and then had to say sorry
    His remarks about a rape victim were beyond the pale
    Drugs and crime still prevail in Davao = so no change there

    Please give me your take on Duterte's 41 properties ?
    His 3 bank accounts with accumulated transactions of P2.4 Billion?

    Duterte even denied having a BPI account until it was uploaded online and then he stated that it only had a "few thousand pesos" and then he has since changed that to "a little less than P211 million"

    Yes he is popular but then Imelda Marcos was and still is = you could not make it up!

    Not bad for a guy who tries to pass himself off as being pro poor and a man of the people

    At least Poe has some diplomacy skills and a good education background Duterte has neither

    ... WHY a "crackpot"? Because he aims to/dares to "break the mould" perpetrated by the greed of the Cojuangco~Aquino clans (under the guise of "people power") since the Marcos regime was ousted?

    Sure ... he did. But ... ... as you've admitted, he'd the grace to aoplogise, for which - in turn - he received a Papal blessing.

    Yes, ... as they do in most major cities worldwide. Yet how come Davao was voted as being 'fourth safest city in Asia'?

    ... perhaps Filipinos finally realise with hindsight that the nation's economy was at its height (ahead of Singapore) during the said Imelda's much~maligned late husband's period of Martial Law ... only to slither rapidly downhill (as I've already indicated in my opening paragrah above) once the greedy, self~serving Aquinos took over the reins.

    ... rubbish! Duterte is a lawyer - a first-time passer of the Bar Exams. Forbye, a former State Prosecutor ... unlike Poe, who taught in US Nursery Schools despite [apparently] failing their National Teaching Board Exams.

    2010-2015 Davao had 1000+ murders compared to 800+ for cebu arthur,davao also had the second highest number of rapes per city in pinas,check out the crime index,i hear of crimes often over there having family in the old bill,and a lot of small minor crimes go unrecorded.Its not the petty phone snatchers or appliance thieves who need to end up as salvage,they are easy targets,its bigger fish.



    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.

    My cat could pass the Bar exams in the Philippines if the right people were bribed

    Fourth safest city in Asia = now that really takes the biscuit

    I notice you fail to comment on Durterte's financial situation and endless list of private properties

    His sledgehammer style of diplomacy will not work on the worlds stage and he will make the
    Philippines a laughing stock

    IMHO and of course totally unscientific he just looks like a thug and somewhat deranged

    My friends are working in the financial institutions in Makati and they have seen huge
    outflows of foreign investments every time Durterte tops the latest opinion polls
    Shares are not seen as a good bet now in the Philippines due to Durterte

    His whole election campaign is based upon eradicating crime and drugs the the Philippines so on that basis Davao should be drug and crime free then
