Rodrigo Duterte, President of The Philippines, fulfilled a campaign promise by launching a "war on drugs" in 2016, in which thousands of people were killed. In 2017, stating that he could no longer trust law enforcement agencies, claiming that drugs threatened national security, he suggested using the Armed Forces of the Philippines.[1]

He stood down from office and retired in 2022.[2]

Iron Fist

Duterte often ruled with an iron fist, and promised to kill anyone that stood in his way if they went against his ideas to make the country better.[3]

“I'm not claiming to be clean. I also stole a lot, but it's all used up. So, it's gone. ...corruption is really out during my term.”
Rodrigo Duterte,  Wikiquote (2017)  [4]

“If they are there in your neighbourhood, feel free to call us, the police or do it yourself if you have the gun. You have my support. If he fights and fights to the death, you can kill him. I will give you a medal... If you are involved in drugs, I will kill you. You son of a whore, I will really kill you.”
Rodrigo Duterte,  Wikiquote (2016)  [4]

“Just because you’re a journalist you are not exempted from assassination, if you’re a son of a bitch. Freedom of expression cannot help you if you have done something wrong...The constitution can no longer help you if you disrespect a person.”
Rodrigo Duterte,  Wikiquote (2016)  [4]



Policies

In May 2020, Rodrigo Duterte stated that schools in the Philippines would stay shut until the development of a COVID-19 Vaccine.[5]
