I'm currently living in the US at the moment, having served with the US military, and ending my contract and having to live as a normal civilian here, I can assure you this place is just as dangerous if not even more than the Philippines, mass shootings everywhere, people dying from normal everyday fights, road rage, local act of terrorism, or just plain stupidity. You can't even leave your car parked outside without getting broken in or stolen. If I could go back home in a heartbeat I would do it. Grass isn't always greener on the other side, it's what you make of it. I'm from Davao, and I can literally walk at night without worrying for my own safety. We have a saying that "You don't have to be afraid if you're not doing anything wrong". The Philippines needs a leader who leads, not a glorified puppet, and Duterte is exactly what the country needs right now. 5 presidents have passed and all of them combined are still nowhere near the achievement of what Duterte has done in his term, and not to mention the current, ongoing and upcoming projects that has already been planned. I believe that I speak for everyone from Davao that we would gladly take him back as our Mayor anytime. This guy has done so much and sacrificed so much for his country yet people only see the bad side of him. But you don't know anything about the programs he had that helped many indigenous tribes back in our hometown, feeding programs he has organized every week for poor families, not to mention the amount of time he puts in as a mayor, where you can literally request to speak to him personally instead of having a mayor who just hides behind his employees. Every year, he celebrates his birthday by having people come over to his house and instead of them giving gifts to them, he's the one giving out gifts to people. Everyone knows that whenever it's birthday, people would flock towards his home and would wait in line with thousands of people. This guy is the absolute definition of a chad, someone who you didn't ask for but you deserved. Fun fact, this guy never lost an election in his entire career, ever. Ya'll can comment, hate, or dislike this post. I don't care, just want to let you know the world is a shitty place already, sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.

I didn't voted for him but I'm very satisfied with what he achieved for our country. No administration is perfect but I see him as a leader that brought significant change to our country for the better. The rehabilitation of Manila Bay, the infrastructures he built, the opening of Mindanao for tourist to visit without fear of being kidnapped, robbed or killed, these are something I hadn't seen from Corazon Aquino administration to Ninoy Aquino administration. I honestly didn't think that my country will ever have progressive change until Rodrigo Duterte became President. As a Filipino working overseas not by choice but out of necessity, I'd say I am happy with his administration. I look forward for the next administration to find a solution in opening more opportunities in our country so that those who are forced to leave their home will be able to provide a quality life to their family without leaving them behind.

He is the best president we ever had with the heart of a true Filipino, strong, loving , patriotic, a strategist meaning he doesnt bow to any country in the world, but friendly enough to do business to make Philippines a better country And most of all he is very brave to step on the oligarchs and criminals. The rule of law must prevail and the dignity of all Filipinos be restored...

[@grace-filledsoul725]

When everyday you pray for your safety because you have to go to work or go home at night, what he is saying makes a lot of sense. Now, I can commute without worrying about being robbed or being harmed. That matters a lot to us who just wants to focus on making life better for our families. Before Duterte's war on drugs, news about people in public transportation being robbed and killed in Payatas is not unusual. You can just imagine how relieved I was when things changed. Thank you so much Tatay Digong. ❤❤❤

Not to mention that Duterte asks addicts including your brother to surrender before "killing them". Many journalist never emphasize of this regarding his war on drugs. 🤦🤦

[@kwanangwanders588]

You have to understand that he's 70 plus years old like mid 70s and he's Bisaya. Accent doesn't really matters. And his choice of words are actually mind blowing. He's so good, besides for the past almost 6 years he did very well. He's a game changer. Didn't vote for him last 2016 elections, i voted for Miriam Santiago, but he's the 2nd best choice and it's a good thing he won. 🤘

[@puritacenteno1180]

He's a very popular Pres. We all know what his intentions. He might be a bit rough and raw with his language but his love of country is beyond question.

[@rowenaalcazar8376]

He doesn't have any difficulties speaking english at all. Judging from the choice of words alone, (that is if you can clearly understand him) you can tell that this man is very articulate and very intelligent. It's the accent that makes you think he's not good in English. Duterte is already famous enough when he won the presidency in 2016. Being Mayor of Davao and what he has accomplished for over 22 years there speaks volume of his capability to lead the country..that's why he won.

[@edenofparadise4348]

[@mu6459]

And he introduced so many words which seemed to be hardly used by any individual. I even need to check the dictionary or Google the word. He is a lawyer and lawyers, experienced ones at that, should know how to express themselves. And the president does ...

[@mercycalias848]

[@gerliejadulco6092]

He also used to talk to ordinary people because he delivers his message to us when he was still mayor here in Davao every week through a local counterpart of ABS - CBN here and most of his messages are reprimanding the hard headed (pasaway) Dabawenyos ☺️. He speaks in a level where everyone if not all clearly understands. That's why we always abide in his rules which is very reasonable and always for the sake of the greater good because of his manner of speaking and his no nonsense implementation of the law.

He is the best President we ever have had.

[@ruthavestruz]

He might sound brutal because he's honest and straightforward, but he's by far the best president we, Filipinos ever had after the late Ferdinand Marcos. His political will is really out there and nobody can predict what's on his mind. He is politically genius. The Philippines crime rate has lowered up to 50% before his term ends. There are many commendable reasons why this President has consistent high approval rating.

He's an effective implementor with war on drugs. A big difference was felt. He actually build rehabilitation center for those who will stop and decide to be heal.

The reason you do not clearly understand what our president is talking about is that you are not a filipino and you don't live in Philippines. If you do, I should say you will understand even a bit of it. We know how the drug problem is destroying our country. When he takes over and declare war on drugs many people especially those belong to the lower class feels more safer traveling, working even you went home late at night. It's far more safer now than before...

When I was in the Philippines drug addicts and pushers were everywhere. Robbery, thief, assaults etc. it was scary to walk on the streets at night or take a public transport. Since he started the war on drugs Philippines became safer. No other brave President dared to do what he did for the country. Millions of addicts surrendered and are in rehab now. So I could say he is a good President, in additional he has built many infrastructures like airports improvements, roads, bridges etc.

[@jonnalynalican703]

We are so proud of our tatay rodrigo duterte... Its not important of how he express his languange its not important if you dont understand him... The most important is what he did for his country, how he became a father for all of us filipinos. Not all president did what he did to our country. Specially in th time og pandemic.

[@einkmin5603]

It doesn't matter if he is good at English or not. As long as every Filipino can understand him in Tagalog or Visayas language so that Filipinos can still understand him in any way he wants to deliver what he wants to deliver and of course also as long as he knows to run the country very well then that's a good sign. The one example of that is he became a good mayor in Davao right? where he has proven many things that he can lead well a country. And now he is focused on the future of the country which a good sign too especially for the good of this next generation, and that is the real more important thing here when we talk about being/ to be a good nationalist leader of this country. Does being good at English mean you are smart? no...language doesn't measure intelligence and deserves to be a president of the country (as we all know) It's just like "Small but terrible" mean "perfect but not absolutely perfect" Realtalk❣️ Another thing is Tagalog is our first main language that whether you are poor or rich many Filipinos will understand you and you will understand them as well because that is your National/native language as being one race. So I don't see anything wrong with his speech and accent if other races can't understand him it's not his fault. What is more important is that his fellow Filipinos understand him very well.

[@justlurking5203]

At first, Ovela is laughing about how PD30 is too straight forward and using strong direct words. It's a laugh of amusement and not of a mock. Second, because Ovela doesn't even understand good Tagalog, much more he wouldn't understand Bisaya accent. I understand him on that but him saying he doesn't get it why PD30 became president because of the Bisaya accent is mocking the Bisaya accent. That I didn't like. He should just keep it to himself. *Sigh*

[@gerliejadulco6092]

Hello, Ovela. I'm not sure if you recognize me from my previous comments (assuming☺️). Let me give you a little context of our beloved president. I am from Davao City, a Bisaya speaker and that's one of the factor of our president's accent. He was our unbeatable mayor because he made our city from a crime infested, dead bodies dump site into a safe one because he recognizes that a place's progress is connected to its safety. That's why he said that nowadays, you can go around our city any time of the day without fear of being rob or hurt by any goons. Back in the days, he even roam around the city disguised as a taxi driver just to see for himself if its really safe at the wee hours of the night. I would like to impress on you that we are a third world country, most of us are below middle class who have had proper education and the way he talks is the most effective way to talk to the masses that's why he is easily understood by many and most often being listen to and obey. That's the reason he made those threats for most addicts need to fear for their life to be able to stop. If you ask some locals in our country, most of them says most of the addicts in their respective areas have change for the better on their own for fear. Those that were killed were the ones who truly fight the police, others also were killed by their own members and I cannot say that the president is clean from all of the killings. He is the only president who is brave enough to acknowledge the worse drug problem in the country because most drug lords have politicians to back them up just like in the movies. He may not able to extinguish and totally solve the drug problem but at least the masses felt the difference that's why most of us love and appreciate him. Too bad for the family of those who were killed, that's the sad part of this drug war. Lastly, he said that he's willing to rot into hell as long as he can protect the Filipino people made him so endearing to us because he always got criticize by the religious and high and mighty people because of the way he talks. We don't really take him literally in all his speeches because he has always a hidden agenda in everything he says or do. He is good in the art of war and he made the Filipinos more aware and caring about the political welfare of the country. PS: I enjoyed your reaction and I understand your negative comments, our president is the most misunderstood man I have ever known but if you have time, try to look for his accomplishments in the country, you'll be surprised.

Now you know why most of the Filipino love Duterte so much. And if you get used to it, the way he speak, you will be able to understand him easily. There is a little charm in his strong and direct to the point statements. Their differences, BBM and Duterte is based on the environment where they grew up. BBM is well mannered and communicate with prestigious persons in the world and had an education internationally while Duterte lived in a very normal life, did things that most common people does. He rather eat on the small eatery in the town instead in a classy restaurant. He grew up in a very common way that's why he knows what's the life, problems and the needs poor people in our country. With that we consider Duterte , one of a kind President.
