They made him look so bad in the eyes of foreign nations. Oligarchs and corrupt politicians controlled the narratives outside our nation, but if you ever ask an ordinary Filipino citizen, he will let you know who that man actually is. Those killed in the drug war are druggists, killers, rapists, murderers ,Before the Duterte admin, drug addicts roamed around anywhere in the Philippines. During the Duterte time, Philippines was made peaceful and drug-free. People were afraid to commit a crime.

Former President Duterte was accused of extra judicial killing of almost 6,800 people but those killed by the police were all criminals, murderers, killers, rapists. It was the opposition who charged him to the ICC court despite my country already withdrew as member of the ICC in 2009.

Hmm,they will put it against him that they are still humans, even if they are criminals, i guess that's what they are using to make their case strong.

Those killed by the police during the Duterte administration resisted arrested. There were also hundreds of police killed during the War on drugs. There were many drugs addicts in my country before Duterte assumed his office as President. Rape was everywhere and killing was made ordinary. I was afraid to go home late before after work. When Duterte won the election, there was peace and drug trafficking never happened.The oppositions were against his rules because they're the masterminds of crimes.

I was not even aware something like this happened, yes the people who are the leaders causing these things are also politicians.

Like 90% or if not 99% of those fighting for one position or the other in politics is not after what they can do for the people but what they can gain for themselves. That's just the painful truth.

Yes, that is one painful truth. One governor in my country with his 8 supporters were shot to death while they were having their meeting de avanche. The criminals and their mastermind were caught through Interpol in Bali, Indonesia.
