The Republic of the Philippines have a new President (1 Viewer)

The U.S. could use a dictator (no not Trump).  But someone less crazy. Too many people running our country to get anything accomplished. Too many voters voting for the person that promises them things that put the country in a financial mess.
Good lord

The present president is besieged by the woes and worries cultivated by his calloused predecessor. He must weed out the narcotics trade and their protectors, thieves in every level and branch of government, corruption, apathy and a degenerated sense of sovereignty. He cuts through every single one of these obstacles with a strong link to the past but with a clear view of tomorrow. These difficulties which beset him may be too much for one man to handle but he chooses to do it. 
He is hardened by the pains of the past. He is worried by the horrors that lie ahead. 
He is not afraid to speak his mind. He is tough, willful and headstrong. He may not be the type of statesman you would think of as president.
He is the president needed at present. 
The present president is always there when you want him. He is never absent. He is never gallivanting on foreign shores peddling schemes nor sitting in soirees. His mind is on the task at hand, a gargantuan one at that. 
He labors to restore a nation set in its course to self-destruction.
His work ethics are reflected in his record. He proves that in government service, attendance is a must. 
As mayor of Davao, he is on site hours after any calamity strikes. Even beyond the borders of his city, he would answer any call for help. Natural disasters and national threats do not deter him. 
As president of the Philippines, he is still on site hours or a day, at the most, after any catastrophe. Since taking office, there have been a steady stream of attacks against Filipinos which he has chosen to personally attend to one by one. Despite the volume and enormity of the onslaught, he is always there. 
As the chief executive of the country, he has alter egos that address every facet of Filipino life. And being built and predisposed to true service to the public, his alter egos arrive mere moments where he is needed. There is even a department who sets up relief stations and supply centers even before people need them. 
He is a president who is always present. 
The present president gives you the feeling like it’s your birthday almost every day. You unwrap him daily to discover how he has decided to make your life a little better. It may be spectacular and exciting. Some days he gives you free health care because you need it. Some days he gives you free housing because you have been waiting for three years and five months for it. Some days he gives you free education because you deserve to know what you are worth. Some days he fights the global bully for you so no one will try to take you for granted. 
On other days, you may not like what you see. You may think he has forgotten how someone has hurt you in the past when he forces you to make peace with them. You may question him; argue with him; even attack him. Do it. He likes hearing what you have to say so he knows how you feel. He can only give you what you need if you allow him to get to know you. But you can be assured that just like perfunctory medicine, exercise or even bitter gourd which you sometimes need to take, he has your best interest at heart. 
He is a president who is a present.
People often talk of destiny when they see the climactic rise of a president. In terms of President Duterte, a man who quietly works away from the conspicuous pomp and pageantry of traditional political aggrandizement, all that matters is the future happiness and self-determination of the country. The helm of power he wields is concerned only with one thing - the country’s present course towards its destiny.
 
I assumed this was bumped for the story:

Manila, Philippines (CNN)Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to throw officials out of a flying helicopter if they misuse public funds -- and admitted on live television that he's done it before. 
"Whoever will use this (public funds) for corruption, I will get him ride the helicopter with me going to Manila and will push him out while we we are up on the air," Duterte said in a speech Tuesday. "Yes I will do that! I did that before and I can do that again."

It's like Dr Seuss, except with a mass murdering despot as protagonist. So... Pretty much Dr Seuss.

Reasonable, level headed people usually don't wind up as dictators.

I guess the guy he supposedly got rid of was a murderer and a kidnapper.  Nice guy.  

It's interesting what happens to funds which are earmarked for victims of tragedies in the Philipipines.  None of it gets there.  He'd like to see that it doesn't happen again.

Then.... maybe use an accountant?

Who was the author of this absolute lunacy?

This will not end well

 
Philippines' Duterte calls U.S. envoys 'spies' over alleged ouster plot


Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte derided U.S. ambassadors as "spies" on Thursday, responding to a media report of an alleged American plot to destabilize his government, a job he said some envoys were appointed solely to do.

The volatile former mayor said though had received no intelligence reports of any U.S. plan to undermine his presidency, he believed most ambassadors were in cahoots with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which had a track record of meddling in other countries' affairs.

The Manila Times newspaper on Tuesday reported a former U.S. ambassador to the Philippines had prepared a "blueprint to undermine Duterte", citing a document it had received from a what it described as a "highly placed source". (bit.ly/2hhzEGk)

The U.S. State Department has described the allegations as "false".

"Most of the ambassadors of the United States, but not all, are not really professional ambassadors. At the same time they are spying, they are connected with the CIA," Duterte said in a television interview.

"The ambassador of a country is the number one spy. But there are ambassador of the U.S., their forte is really to undermine governments." ...
