A Plea from One of the Millions Who cared for Rodrigo Duterte

We live in a time where misinformation spreads faster than truth, and many fail to see the real impact of a leader who stood against crime and corruption for the sake of the Filipino people. I am one of the millions who love and support former President Rodrigo Duterte, not because of blind loyalty, but because I have seen firsthand the difference he made in our country.

Drugs destroy the future of the youth. Drug addiction has led to countless crimes ,murder, rape, and violence that have torn families apart. Those who use and sell drugs choose a dangerous path, one that leads to suffering not only for themselves but for innocent people around them. How many young lives have been lost to addiction? How many families have suffered because of drug-related crimes?

Duterte stood up against this evil when others were too afraid to act. He faced criminals head-on, prioritizing the safety of millions of innocent Filipinos. If he were truly a bad president, why do so many people still fight for him today? Why do ordinary citizens continue to defend his legacy? It is because he was a leader who genuinely cared, one who made tough decisions to protect the people even if it meant facing criticism from those who benefited from corruption and crime.

A true father disciplines his children out of love. If your own father caught you doing drugs, would he ignore it? No. He would be angry, he would be hurt, but most importantly, he would want you to change. Duterte was like a father to the Filipino people. He did not tolerate wrongdoing. He was not perfect. he had a foul mouth, he spoke harshly but he took action when it mattered. And for that, criminals feared him, corrupt politicians wanted him gone, but millions of Filipinos stood by his side.

During the pandemic, we all feared for our survival. Many lost their jobs, and we thought we would starve. But the government, under Duterte, made sure that we had food to eat. While other leaders focused only on politics, he focused on the people. And even after his term ended, those who seek to twist the truth have not stopped their attacks against him.

Why do people still love him? Why do the people of Davao continue to respect him? Why do leaders of other nations admire him? Why do our OFW brothers and sisters support him? Because they saw the truth. They saw a leader who was willing to face the dirtiest battles to keep the country safe.

To those who cry for justice for drug addicts, I ask , where was your voice when innocent people were raped, murdered, and terrorized by criminals under the influence of drugs? Where was your outcry for the victims? Duterte did not order senseless killings he simply made it clear that crime would no longer be tolerated. Those who chose to continue down a dark path were given multiple chances to change. Free rehabilitation programs were offered. The government extended a helping hand. But what did they do? They continued to harm others.

People say Duterte had a dirty mouth but words do not define a person’s true character. Many hide behind politeness while committing terrible acts, just as there are those who go to church yet continue to do wrong. I would rather stand with a leader who speaks harshly but fights for the people than one who speaks gently but does nothing to stop injustice.

We must not let false narratives erase the truth. We must continue to stand against drugs, against crime, and against those who seek to protect criminals for their own benefit. Duterte may no longer be in office, but his impact remains. And as one of the millions who love and support him, I will continue to fight for the safety and future of my country and to the one guy who fight for us!

BRING OUR TATAY BACK AND PLEASE FIND WAYS TO KEEP HIM SAFE AND HEALTHY HIS TOO OLD FOR THIS.

This is War: The Cost of Peace

War is not gentle. War is not kind. War is the battle for peace against the hands of evil. And war has consequences.

In every war, there is bloodshed. There is loss. There is pain. Yet, for true justice to prevail, for the future to be secured, and for peace to be restored, we must face the reality that war demands a price. The war on drugs is no different.

So now, as we fight a war against drugs, against corruption, against those who destroy lives with addiction and violence, we must understand:

There will be casualties. There will be those who fall in the crossfire. It is tragic, but what is more tragic? Allowing evil to grow. Allowing more children to be enslaved by substances, more families to be torn apart, more innocent lives to be shattered while we sit back and watch. Evil thrives when we do nothing.

Some people will say it is cruel. Some will cry out against it. But let us not forget that even in the Scriptures, God Himself waged war against oppression, against sin, against the darkness that threatened His people.

When Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites from slavery, the final plague took the innocent firstborn of Egypt. Was this an easy thing to witness? No. But it was necessary. Because Pharaoh had enslaved the people of God, murdered their sons, and defied the Lord. Justice was delivered, and freedom was won.

When Jesus was born, Herod ordered the killing of all male infants to destroy Him before He could fulfill His mission. Innocence was slaughtered, but did that stop the will of God? No. Because this is war. This is the reality of a world where evil does not surrender without blood being spilled.

Does this mean God is evil because He allowed the firstborn of Egypt to die? Because He allowed innocent children to fall when Jesus was targeted? No. It means He is sovereign. It means He sees beyond what we can see. And it means He will do what is necessary for justice, for righteousness, for His greater plan to unfold.

Jesus Himself was innocent, yet He was crucified in the greatest battle of all—the war between good and evil, between sin and salvation. His death was not a defeat, but a victory over sin and death. Because even in war, sacrifice is necessary to achieve a greater purpose. Just as innocent lives were lost in Egypt and Bethlehem, Christ’s sacrifice became the price of our salvation. This does not make God evil—it reveals His justice and love. War, whether physical or spiritual, always comes with a cost.

Some say a Christian should oppose killings. But have we become too religious to recognize the reality of war? The Bible itself shows that war is part of the battle between good and evil. Evil does not surrender gently. It takes strength, discipline, and unwavering resolve to destroy what poisons a nation. Hesitation allows destruction to spread. Mercy for the wicked is cruelty to the innocent.

Should we put a leader who is weak and gentle at the helm of an evil nation? A leader who hesitates in the face of crime, who lets the enemy roam free? No. A country plagued by darkness needs a leader who will fight. A leader who will not bow to criticism, who will not flinch in battle. Because peace is not given—it is fought for.

Has the Philippines ever learned from soft discipline? Has kindness alone ever fixed this nation? Or does it take a firm, relentless hand to cleanse the country of corruption and crime?

I can’t understand why people celebrate his arrest. Do they not see who truly benefits from his absence? If you cheer for this, then you are siding with the enemy and the devil.

I do not invalidate those who have lost loved ones. Their pain is real, and their sorrow is deep. But I hope their loss will pay the higher and greater price of the majority and the nation. Because war—though cruel and painful—demands sacrifice for the greater good.

Bring back Duterte. Bring back the war that will cleanse this nation.

Because this is war. And war is never gentle. But it costs everything—lives, innocence, pain, and sacrifice. It costs the peace we hope for today so that true peace can be won tomorrow. It costs blood, sweat, and unwavering resolve. War is never without loss, but without it, evil prevails.
