Ilan lamang ang mga screenshots na ito nanagpapakita ng away ng mga netizens sa Facebook hinggil

sa eleksyon. Dahil sa masyado nilang pagpanig sa kanilang kandidato ay hindi na nila namamalayang
napapaaway na sila at gumagawa ng gulo. Hindi ganito ang dapat gawin ng isang mabutingbotante.

Ang survey ay hindi dapat maging basehan kung sino ang mananalong kandidato para sa halalan.

Philippine Politics Under Duterte: A Midterm Assessment

Summary: More than two years into Rodrigo Duterte's presidency, the record is mixed with change,
continuity, and regression. This should prompt more robust U.S. support for democracy in the
Philippines.

INTRODUCTION

Within weeks of his inauguration as president of the Philippines in June 2016, Rodrigo R. Duterte
became the most internationally known Filipino leader since Ferdinand Marcos, the country’s infamous
dictator, and Corazon Aquino, the iconic housewife-turned-president who championed the restoration
of democracy in 1986. A great deal of media attention has been paid to Duterte’s murderous war on
drugs as well as to his often crass and controversial statements. His embrace of China and his visceral
disdain for the United States has garnered additional attention in foreign policy circles, and he
frequently is included in media reports and scholarly articles on the rise of populism globally.

Although the attention to Duterte and his brutal drug war is warranted, much less attention has been
paid to his administration’s broader policy agenda, its approach to politics and governance, and its
broader impact on democratic institutions and norms. As a candidate, Duterte promised that he would
produce real and rapid improvements in the lives of Filipinos, particularly by aggressively addressing
crime and corruption. Two and a half years into his presidency, it is both warranted and possible to
assess what has and has not changed under Duterte. The picture is a mixed one, with elements of
change, continuity, and regression.

The Duterte government’s track record regarding human rights and democracy is undoubtedly
disturbing. It has run roughshod over human rights, its political opponents, and the country’s democratic
institutions. The combination of the Philippines’ powerful presidency and the malleability of most of its
political institutions is resulting in significant democratic backsliding. But to focus only on Duterte fails to
appreciate two other important elements: the extent to which this degradation has happened through
nominally legal means, and the limited pushback to date by groups and institutions opposed to
strongman rule. This working paper takes an in-depth look at the complex dynamics contributing to
democratic backsliding in the Philippines.

The Duterte administration’s assault on human rights and democracy also raises the question of what
the U.S. government and America’s nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) can and should do to defend
democracy in America’s former colony. The analysis concludes with a discussion of America’s extremely
limited support for human rights and democracy in the Philippines since Duterte became president and
offers suggestions for a more robust response.

kandidato (ganto yung thought pls reconsider hehe)
