Specifically the infamous War on Drugs that ended up killing multiple people every day. That exercise of a power was very brutal for me honestly. It was also during his reign that a global pandemic occurred. This could’ve been his chance to redeem himself and to use his power to uplift the lives of the citizens but sadly he showed us a very weak disaster management plan and action. It would soon be 2 years and we would definitely still be on lockdowns. There’s just seemingly no sign of an end to it. It left us with an incompetent government led by an incompetent president with no concrete plan.]]> 2021-10-04 09:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jojieedma/461olgqn1ggu42ea/wish/1789059502 https://padlet.com/jojieedma/461olgqn1ggu42ea/wish/1804772094 From the extrajudicial killings that were results to the drug war in the Philippines, the branding of dissent as a crime, to the failure of a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Rodrigo Duterte has been and is still continually criticize for every controversy throughout his rule as the head of the state. He may have had chances to empower the Filipino people, but whenever he opens his mouth, curse words and rape jokes flow.

But his war on drugs result in violence like extra judical killings many rights of individual have been violated. He also use his power to stop illegal mining companies, legal mining companies violated the proper process of mining and mining companies affect the life of people around on those areas. Then he made the build build program to upgrade our country and to create a job for filipino but this program cost a Debt. He also enforced a martial law on mindanao during the attack of maute and isis terorist group to control the siege. This present time during pandemic he face a big issues as a excutive they are the responsiboe for controlling this pandemic.

During his first term, his main purpose is to eliminate drugs in the country because he believed that drugs will ruin the future of the children. It may be in a bloody way but he is the only one who can command it. With the power vested upon him, war on drugs is inevitable. Next is his build build build project to any parts of the country.

However, President Duterte's most visible campaign has focused on the abolition of crime and the use of illegal drugs. While these efforts have resulted in mass surrenders to the police, the campaign has faced criticism from both local and global organizations due to concerns over human rights violations.

The significant powers that Duterte had exercised are the following, but not limited to:

• Power ordinance power. He was able to issue policies and programs under his administration. For example,

• Power of appointment. President Duterte appoints new heads for DPWH and MMDA. For the DPWH, Southern Leyte Rep. Roger Mercado was appointed while Romando Artes for the MMDA.

One thing that is part of the "down" is the War on Drugs. As controversial as it is, there is still good in it such as lower criminal rates in the Philippines. It was also during his reign that the Philippines started to shine as a country again. Indeed, many Filipinos were uplifted upon hearing the news that Pasig River became clean and many infrastructures were constructed. The Philippines started to see light.

During his terms, he did great things, particularly in his advocacy “War on Drugs” he also take action in cleaning Manila Bay also Boracay–one of the most beautiful tourist spots here in the Philippines.
