    His ideas are original? I think not. Look to history to find examples.

    That's exactly what they will get if he is elected....and that comes straight for the horse's mouth.

    The point isn't that I think Duterte is going to do the same stuff that Hitler did, it is to show why people elect crazy dictators. I really don't think the situation in the Philippines is as "desperate" as people (and the media) make it out to be. Yeah, there are things that are screwed up here, but it doesn't take a dictator to sort these problems out. All that needs to happen is for the people to actually demand politicians enforce some of the laws already on the books. The average Filipino continues to vote for same people year after year though....wtf to they think is going to happen? They have they government and society they deserve.

    Luckily DI is hosted in Singapore and owned by an LLC in the US. Your comments aren't being posted publicly anywhere in the Philippines, and therefore, break no laws. If anyone had a problem with posts made here and wanted to take actions against a poster would need to find a US law that was broken to get me to release any IP addresses.....and I'm quite sure the US doesn't give a crap about people talking about Philippine politics. :wink:

    Agree. The Filipino's MUST do it for themselves. They have what they have because they are satisfied with what they have. It really is that simple. If they were NOT happy, they would vote for a different system. They haven't so they must be content with what they have!

    It could quite easily happen here.... IF he starts replacing PNP chiefs with those who will actually start enforcing things. Delegate it on down through the right people who will do their job. When the PNP shows up at your house or business for *disturbing the peace* and closes down your business for a week or a month or puts you in jail over the weekend then people will start doing what they are supposed to. But until that happens we get the same disorder.

    I think Duterte knows how to delegate and pick those at the higher positions to watch the lower positions along with holding them accountable. Its not like in Davao he is the one going around through the entire city doing these things. A few harsh examples and word of mouth will spread it real quick especially if we also get a 911 type of system that Davao has to call in to the police and emergencies. Loud crap going on past the hour make a simple call and the police come out just as in Davao.

    Sure. He could have a SS (Student Squad) to keep them noisy karaoke kids quiet after 9pm and a Guest-Appo to stop them dang tourists from drinking after 1 am and I am sure he will have a "final solution" for them unescorted minors begging on the streets for rugby money after 10 pm.
