Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte of the Philippines

The Third Top Leader of the World and the Most Powerful President.

A prestigious Time Magazine published him as the number 3 among the 10 top leaders of t

 

he world. And to my understanding, in today's world, he is the most powerful president. Reason being that he has taken cared of the guardians of peace and order of his country- the police (PNP), the Army (AFP), the Navy (PN), the Coast Guard, and the Air Force (AF). This means that the powerful forces that guard the country have full loyalty and confidence in him as the Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief. And he has completely renewed the scenario of the press without curtailing the freedom of expression. Besides, he has 80% that voted for him. A thunderous voice of 80% that voted for him. Vox populi, vox Dei - the voice of the people is the voice of God.

He said he was elected to serve his people and to protect the country. He is an employee, a worker. He is paid by the people and thus offer them the country that they so deserved, dreamed, and hoped for. And he has taken care of them, catering to their demands, to ameliorate them from the dregs of penury, from the dread of illegal drugs.  In fact, he promised the National Peoples Army (NPA), the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) to come out of hiding and be a part, an asset and work with the government instead of fighting against it as they were out from their families for almost 50 years. Now on his administration, Malacanang Palace is open to their demands, to their clamors. As Filipinos, he wants them to enjoy their freedom, their aspirations, and be with their loved ones.

His only simple promise is to stop the flow of illegal drugs, minimize corruption, and criminality. He is performing and delivering his promises with less politicking as he is only good for a 6-year term plus he is already over 70 years old. He is almost done with the laurels but is much excited about the projects of build, build, build to change the picture of the country that has been devastated by the tsunami of corruption, the rising of criminality, and dysfunctional families wrecked by the havoc of illegal drug called shabu.

He is an elected president of a sovereign country who has a viable 3 branches of government- the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary. He doesn't want to kowtow to any foreign leader. His campaign on the illegal shabu drug that consequently resulted in murder is only poised to the criminals. But why in the village, on the young, on the poor people because shabu is not expensive when compared to the other drugs that are for the rich and the moneyed. The other thing is, the less expensive shabu drug does more harm and even makes the family dysfunctional according to him.

This is the reason why he repeatedly said that if you'll destroy the young, I'll kill you!
