This is a strong message. And he used the media to spread this message. I'm not jiving with the idea that the media is wrong and yet the president was using the media as a channel for this message.
I also live in the Philippines, but I'm a foreigner and I'm not taking a side on this. My boots on the ground observation is that people have been shot under mysterious circumstances before the new president took office and the same is happening now after, but maybe at a greater rate. But I don't fear for my life here. It isn't the wild west with guns blazing on the street.
- jister 10y agoThat's a threat. If you are living here you will notice that criminals doesn't fear the law before Duterte took office. Why would they? Corruption is from top to bottom that nobody gives a shit what would happen to ordinary people. There's a documentary video where the head PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency) said that are ordered not to arrest drug pushers even if they know who and where they are. Obviously the order came from the top.
