Duterte Versus Poverty, Unemployment and Social Injustice

        Our country has confronting many problems like extreme poverty, unemployment, social injustice, etc. We hope that the next president would resolve all of these. Yes, it is hard to make do it; but if the leader has a political will to make a change, every problem could be fixed gradually. I believed that Rodrigo Duterte is the right leader for the position because among the candidates; he is the only one who have a strong conviction to serve the Filipino people. As what he says in his political ad, he has "Tapang at Malasakit".

It seems that poverty is just already a culture to the Filipino people. This is happening because we don't have equality. Only rich people has the advantage to gain wealth in our country. We can't change this, but if the leader has a genuine concern for the poor; he would not let the rich people to use their power to  bury in never ending poverty. Being a former member of NPA, Duterte has a deep sypmpathy for the poor. He knew their struggle and their hardship, so he will fight for their rights.

Duterte will also secure the job of the the workers by abolishing the contractualization law. He knew that this is just favorable to the employers and not to the workers. The companies are just escaping to give benefits to their employees. The employers should base to the performance of the workers and not base to the contract.  Once, he abolish this nonsense law, yes, poverty will not eradicate. But this already a big help to the ordinary workers who are already sick and tired in this kind of system. Imagine, they need to find a new job after 5 months!

I also believe that Duterte could provide employment to our jobless fellowmen. Who says that he don't have a guts to develop the economy of our country? Look at Davao, their city is really progressive. Many business had been built there. It only means the investors have a trust to their leader that's why they are not afraid to invest their money in Davao. If Duterte improved the lives of his constituents, he can also do it in the entire country.

One of the platform of Duterte is to give a concrete livelihood in Mindanao. This is the reason that's why he is favor for Federal system to give equal opportunity, not only to the people in Mindanao, but also in Visayas.  His agenda is to get huge funds to use to develop every town and municipality in our country without the help of national government. If he do this, job oppurtunities will be created. They don't need leave their family just to go in Manila or in abroad to get a job. Maybe this the answer to alleviate the unemployment in our country.

Last not but the least, if we talk about social injustice, Duterte is the right leader we need to fight it. He reall hates crime and injustice; so, he will not let the law breakers could reign in our country.  Injustices and oppression has no room in his administration. Why don't need to afraid of him if other people calling him as 'berdugo'. No, he is not that kind of person. Maybe he is a berdugo of criminals and drug pushers and drug lords, but a true friend of good and abiding citizen. I believed that he just created the berdugo image just to sow fear in the mind of the criminals. But in reality, this leader is very humble and simple  as what he portrays in television and into his campaign sorties. One thing for sure, true justice will be served  under the administration of Duterte!
