Most Terrifying Filipino Politicians
Some of them were based on history. Let me know how do you feel about the list by voting who do you think deserves to be branded as terrifying politician.
One of Marcos’s ally and member of the Omega 12 during the Martial Law years. He turned his back against him during the first people power revolution.
Rodrigo "Rody" Roa Duterte, also known by the nickname Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan descent who served as President of The Philippines from 2016 until 2022. The rude, savage and foul-mouthed president of the Philippines. Also known by some international journalist as the Donald Trump of the east. Surprisingly, he won the latest election. Most Filipino people were desperate for change and they thought Duterte could bring it to them. In fact, it’s the other way around. Considering the issues and controversies that has sourrounded him since the campaign days about his swearing remarks and unjust condemnation of the media. It’s really a bigtime question how we would expect him to change our country if he can’t even change himself?
Filipinos love their Presidents either to be low life murders or high life criminals, greatest political system ever
For the GOOD and BAD he is simply terrifying...and honorable alike...
I swear, he might follow the path of corrupt Marcos.
He is currently the second most corrupt leader in the world according to Forbes Magazine and Infoplease. During his administration, he ordered the closure of media and prevented the freedom of press. It was clear that he declared Martial Law because it may somehow expand his term as a President or Prime Minister. Under his regime, several cases of human rights abuses were reportedly done by his military, most of the victims were from his political adversaries. Marcos is afraid they might divulge his secrets and corruptions. Not only that, he brought the economy of the Philippines to a great degree of depression and downfall. His leadership is among the worst of all in the history of the Philippines.
Martial. Law. That's all I gotta say
Still makes me wonder why there is a hight percentage of stupid and forgetful people in the Philppines knowing how they would even like to elect this guy's son as vice president.
