IN SEARCH FOR A FILIPINO RONALD REAGAN

By Bayawanon

The Filipino Reagan is being split into two, if you would know former American President Ronald Reagan was good in ECONOMY and at the same time PEACE AND ORDER, because of this I believe that the Filipino Reagan is being halved into two and can be found in the persons of Mar Roxas and Rodrigo Duterte. Mar Roxas is a University of Pennsylvania (Wharton Business School) alumni has proven himself in the field of economics is a former investment banker and a former Department of Trade and Industry Secretary while Rudy Duterte has proven himself his mastery over peace and order as a local chief executive of Davao City.
How I wish Duterte and Roxas are one so that we really can have a great leader in the mold of Ronald Reagan a former wartime president who also saved the American economy from a possible economic recession. However, I still hope and pray that whoever wins between Duterte and Roxas can still be a great leader like Reagan since the Philippines needs a Filipino Ronald Reagan for it to be respected in world affairs.
Ronald Reagan was expected to be good in the economy for he was an economics graduate of Eureka College in the United States and was also expected to excel in international/national peace and order since he once served as an Army Captain during the second world war. Mar Roxas is expected to be good in the economy because like Reagan he is also an economics graduate but he is not expected to prove his worth in national security. Rudy Duterte has already proven his worth in the field of peace and order as we can glean from his sterling record as City Mayor of Davao but has yet to prove his ability in the economy. How I really hope that Duterte and Roxas are one so that we can really have an all-around leader which can really save the Philippines from being called the "SICK MAN OF ASIA".
