HARSH REALITIES: Why We Need Duterte for President?

Personally, I think our country needs a president like Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Our country has been in a downfall situation since like forever. I grew up experiencing such a lacking government with full of undisciplined politicians who just mindlessly corrupting while abusing their powers and refusing their alleged crimes all the time. I think this is the time that we needed change, a change that only a strict leader could give.

We all know how Mayor Duterte works in his beloved Davao City. How he punishes criminals there and makes the city a beautiful and safe place to live in. So, why we needed a leader like him? Let’s have a gist of it:
Ø Firstly, we, Filipinos lack discipline. No country can be progressive unless its citizens are law-abiding and disciplined. Moreover, I believe he can oblige us to be disciplined individuals that no previous and even present president could.

Ø Secondly, the drug problem has become a national problem. I believe on this point ever since. And for me, Mayor Duterte absolutely can handle this kind of problem.

Ø Thirdly, corruption is endemic in all levels of government, including in the barangays. This is very obvious, no doubt! Being a disciplined leader, Mayor Duterte will abolish corruption once he becomes a president.

Ø Finally, criminality is rampant nationwide. I think it’s getting worse every minute. And more and more citizens become victims while criminals become younger and dangerous this time.

What the country needs that Duterte has?

Ø He has been in politics for many years but he is not a “trapo” or traditional politician. He believes that discipline is needed to have a good government.

Ø He is a problem solver. He has successfully addressed the problems of illegal drugs, traffic, criminality and the firecracker menace in Davao City and many more.

Ø He has balls and is not afraid of anyone. He could protect us on anyone that will belittle and abuse us.

Ø He has a track record of good governance. He’s not corrupt!

Ø He is very cruel to the criminals and punishes them on what they deserve.

He is known for his harsh words for the misfits:

Definitely, we don’t need a very intelligent president or even a very flowery speaker president that most of the masses loves. We need is someone who has the guts that could make us a responsible citizen, who will never fail us, who we could trust in this times.

I believe no one can compare to Duterte, not even the candidates this coming 2016 presidential election because he is an achiever and a transformational leader. “He changed the behavior of Davaoeños and made Davao the ninth safest city in the world!” (Source: BRIG.

Honestly speaking, I hope he would not miss the chance this coming election and considering running for the said position.
