Wanted to follow up on this here. As I told you, nothing happened with Duterte. The media overexaggerates everything as they commonly do. Duterte has kept the Philippines stable with COVID-19 despite it being the most condensed area of the world. His technique of being aggressive with people, implementing curfews and quarantines mostly worked. He may make threats but it's rare for any of these aggressive policies to actually be enforced. The death rate is low and he's done a pretty decent job despite the mass people still not following protocols.

He now is the most popular leader in Asia. I'm not pro or anti Duterte but I had to call this BS out as it's disturbing how media and the internet is polarizing peoples political views these days.
what BS are you referring to?
