We can vote, yes, but that's it. After that we rely if the leaders that we voted will actually perform their duties. Our legislative, Judicial and Executive branches of the government are largely influenced by the Oligarchs before Duterte took office. We have selective justice here. People running can defy a TRO (temporary restraining order) just what happened a few years back then the head of Legislative, De Lima, defied the TRO given by Judiciary. That was during the Aquino administration. It was also during the Aquino term that he bribe the Senate to impeach Justice Corona who is the head of Judiciary. This was all in the news back then but was quickly buried. There were masacres of farmers before. 1,819 killed in 2010 and 2,089 in 2011 by "riding-in-tandem" (crimes perpetrated by more than one person, usually two men, on a motorcycle) but was quickly buried too. There are a lot of injustice that has been going on here that you don't see in the news. Oligarchs-owned media have been covering it up ever since.
During the previous Aquino administration crime rate increase to 350% but that did not made news. Most of these crimes are drug related. Information were being controlled by our local media.
Due process are given to those who surrendered. In front of a drug suspect holding a gun, what do you want to police to do talk them to death?
