DUTERTE IS THE LAW OF THE PHILIPPINES

By Bayawanon

According to plenty of circumstances happening in the countryside, it seems like the president stands as the number one law of the land. The president gets what he wants, and his allies who are practically his subjects follow him always to the extent of doing what the president orders without thinking twice.

The leading political figure of the Philippines had ordered the postponement of the Barangay elections last October, 2016 and the said elections was postponed as he wished, the same elections may be postponed again by this year on the ground that many if not majority of the village chiefs are involved in the illicit drug trade without enough dossiers, records, and evidence that may prove such allegations.

The supreme national leader in his speeches, would encourage police officers and civilians alike to kill drug addicts and his oral orders are actually happening. His braggadocio as regards to the incarceration of an opposition leader becomes a reality even without observing the normal legal processes.

He promised to the police officers that if they can kill drug addicts and if they're going to be charged in court for doing it, he's going to do everything to free them. Now, it is happening to the letter of his words by freeing a police officer charged of murder in connection to the dreaded DRUG WAR by lowering the case to homicide and by reinstating the same to his former post.

Basing on these circumstances, it seems like the good leader of the land is weilding absolute power and what is not good with this is, the majority of the Filipino people are clapping their hands in approval even in times when the president makes decisions that are inimical to their existence and to the existence of the democratic aggregates of the land.

It seems like the Filipino citizens have already submitted their inalienable rights to liberty, life, property and happiness to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, since clearly he is now ruling the Philippines absolutely and apparently he is now the law of the land.
