Man.. Nobody has ever said Duerte isn't supported by the population. All dictators have some kind of support, otherwise they could never govern. People is saying two things. First we (as western world) know dictatorship is bad, because exactly how you said, we've been there. Expecially Europe. US has actually never tried it. But we actually know what happens. Second, we also know that to get to power dictators always have to use extremely violent or aggressive techniques. Maybe by condemning these we could prevent dictatorships and all the crap that follows altogheter. Besides, it's instead entirely possible to me that this is an unskippable step in a country's history, and people have to go through that phase and try it on their skin, so whatever. The point of the artcle was more about the role of Facebook into this anyway.
