Duterte's Strong Voice in the International Communities

         Some Filipino people doesn't like Rodrigo Duterte to become our next president because he has a sympathy with the leftist or to the members of New People's Army (NPA). They believed that if ever he win, there is a possibility that our country could overrule or govern by the leftist. If this could happen, we would become an enemy of the democratic countries especially America.

But all of those are just an imagination, even Duterte has a sympathy with the leftist it doesn't mean that he totally accepted their ideology. if it is true, maybe he would not join in election under democratic process. Duterte is pushing for Federalism, not Communism. These two political systems are very different to each other.

  The critics of Duterte also believed that he don't know how to deal with international community because of his affiliation with the leftist. Once, Duterte called the United Nation (UN) as hypocrite. As they emphasized, this kind of leader has no right to become our leader because in the beginning, he already shown his true color. They questioned the motive of Duterte why he told it at the front of media? Is this a hint that he is don't want to be involved in any UN activities because he is a sympathize of the leftist? Of course not, Duterte has a strong reasons why he said that.

  As a Filipino people, we must be glad, because there is a leader like him who are not afraid to speak his point of views in the front of international community. It only means that he is the kind of leader that we could trust because he can't easily give up his position in an issue. Unlike other leaders, they would sell their principles just to impress the progressive countries although we are the one who could sacfirice from its consequences. Yes, I believed that we need to be a diplomatic, but not at all times. We should also fight for our rights and no other countries could dictate us what are the policies could be implied in our country. For me, Duterte is the right leader who has a capacity to lead us, locally and internationally
