He is idiot if he does not achieve his goals. If his goals are western democracy - then he is indeed an idiot.
If his goal is strong Philippines under El Presidente that conveniently shares the same name as him ... he is on the right way.
I know I am cynical as a person nearing the age of 350 but after the drug dealer "threat" is dealt with, the corrupted (and his opponents) may as well be his next extrajudical targets.
In every impoverished area there are some local feudal bigshots that do what they please and can get away with anything. Give the poor licence to kill them ... and they will elect you to your grave and beyond.
Democracy does not mean human rights or rule of law ...

Perhaps you can shed some light on how you lived to be almost 350?
Do you exercise or is it purely genetic?
I think it is entirely appropriate for the ruler of a country who instead of attacking the root cause of corruption in that country decides to give license to his population to go and kill each other instead.

Ugh. I had to go and look that up to make sure you weren't pulling my leg. Sorry for not trusting you.
