Did President Duterte Endorse Inday Sarah Duterte To Be The Next President?



Barely one year in office, President Rodrigo Duterte has waged war on drugs and corruption and is currently winning it. He said it will continue until the last drug lord killed and the last pusher, out of the country. President Duterte once said that nobody has a political will to do it except himself. But who will continue his crusade after his term? Does he have anyone in mind that has the same guts? In his speech during the grand launching of CineLokal at the SM Mall of Asia, President Duterte seemingly made an indirect endorsement for his daughter Sarah Duterte for the presidency. Does he really mean it or is it just us? He said if the people ran out of choices, they can choose her daughter to be the next president. President Duterte was referring to the incident where Mayor Sarah Duterte of Davao City hit the sheriff for not considering her request to postpone the demolition for the meantime and let the people relocate first before the demolition of the private property inhabited by hundreds of residents but the sheriff pushed through with the decision to demolish the area. The Mayor apologized to the sheriff after the incident. The incident happened on July 1, 2011. President Duterte doubts that his advocacy will still be continued if he stepped down from the presidency at the end of his term. If the post will be taken over with just anyone, the problem with drugs and corruption might get to worse. This may not be a direct endorsement but President Duterte gives us a clear choice whether we want to continue fighting the menace and horror of drugs and corruption or we will let the others get on with it and do things on their own vested personal interests.

Joshua Santiago, 12, graduated in Elementary at Mabiga Mabalacat Elementary School in Mabalacat Pampanga earlier this month.

For every OFW who wish to come to New Zealand, she charges $2,250 each.

Barely one year in office, President Rodrigo Duterte has waged war on drugs and corruption and is currently winning it. He said it will continue until the last drug lord killed and the last pusher, out of the country.
President Duterte once said that nobody has a political will to do it except himself. But who will continue his crusade after his term? Does he have anyone in mind that has the same guts?

 In his speech during the grand launching of CineLokal at the SM Mall of Asia, President Duterte seemingly made an indirect endorsement for his daughter Sarah Duterte for the presidency. 
Does he really mean it or is it just us?
 He said if the people ran out of choices, they can choose her daughter to be the next president.

Does he really mean it or is it just us? He said if the people ran out of choices, they can choose her daughter to be the next president. President Duterte was referring to the incident where Mayor Sarah Duterte of Davao City hit the sheriff for not considering her request to postpone the demolition for the meantime and let the people relocate first before the demolition of the private property inhabited by hundreds of residents but the sheriff pushed through with the decision to demolish the area. The Mayor apologized to the sheriff after the incident. The incident happened on July 1, 2011. President Duterte doubts that his advocacy will still be continued if he stepped down from the presidency at the end of his term. If the post will be taken over with just anyone, the problem with drugs and corruption might get to worse. This may not be a direct endorsement but President Duterte gives us a clear choice whether we want to continue fighting the menace and horror of drugs and corruption or we will let the others get on with it and do things on their own vested personal interests.

He said it will continue until the last drug lord killed and the last pusher, out of the country. President Duterte once said that nobody has a political will to do it except himself. But who will continue his crusade after his term? Does he have anyone in mind that has the same guts? In his speech during the grand launching of CineLokal at the SM Mall of Asia, President Duterte seemingly made an indirect endorsement for his daughter Sarah Duterte for the presidency. Does he really mean it or is it just us? He said if the people ran out of choices, they can choose her daughter to be the next president.

He said that as he visit the countries where there are OFWs, he has heard sad stories about them: sexually abused Filipinas,domestic helpers being forced to work on a number of employers. "I have been to many places. I have been to the Middle East. You know, the husband is working in one place, the wife in another country. The so many sad stories I hear about our women being raped, abused sexually," The President said. About Filipino domestic helpers, he said: "If you are working on a family and the employer's sibling doesn't have a helper, you will also work for them. And if in a compound,the son-in-law of the employer is also living in there, you will also work for him.So, they would finish their work on sunrise." He even refer to the OFWs being similar to the African slaves because of the situation that they have been into for the sake of their families back home. Citing instances that some of them, out of deep despair, resorted to ending their own lives. The President also said that he finds it heartbreaking to know that after all the sacrifices of the OFWs working abroad for the future of their families they would come home just to learn that their children has been into illegal drugs. "I made no bones about my hatred. I said, 'If you do drugs in my city, if you destroy our daughters and sons, I'll just have to kill you.' I repeated the same warning when i became president," he said. Critics of the so-called violent war on drugs under President Duterte's administration includes local and international human rights groups, linking the campaign on thousands of drug-related killings. Police figures show that legitimate police operations have led to over 2,600 deaths of individuals involved in drugs since the war on drugs began. However, the war on drugs has been evident that the extent of drug menace should be taken seriously. The drug personalities includes high ranking officials and they thrive in the expense of our own children,if not being into drugs, being victimized by drug related crimes. The campaign on illegal drugs has somehow made a statement among the drug pushers and addicts. If the common citizen fear walking on the streets at night worrying about the drug addicts lurking in the dark, now they can walk peacefully while the drug addicts hide in fear that the police authorities might get them.

This may not be a direct endorsement but President Duterte gives us a clear choice whether we want to continue fighting the menace and horror  of drugs and corruption or we will let the others get on with it and do things on their own vested personal interests.
