Hello Jane,  President Rodrigo Duterte is participating in ex-judicial assassination of Filipino drug dealers.  Since he took office in June of this years he has allowed, condoned and even encourage his army and police to have hit squads.  The last number that I heard was several weeks ago and he was claiming 2,000 "whacks"... his words.  Yesterday he secured the release of a Norwegian from the Abbu Sayaff a Muslim fanatic group.  At that press conference (you tube-yesterday) to told the media that he would like to kill 770,000 minor officials claiming that they were all involved in corruption and drugs.  He also stated that he is not doing this "killing" because it would involve to much paperwork.  So you take it from there.  This guy is not what one would call real president. I don't believe that the Secret Service would want President Obama anywhere near this man. The Filipino people seem to like the idea of having a dictator. Not much of a democracy left in the Philippines.  Sad.
