Unit 1012
awards the Rayner
Goddard Act of Courage Award to Rodrigo Duterte for defending the death penalty.
Although, we, the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, rather that he uses capital
punishment after a fair trial with judicial safeguards, we still respect the
fact that he has the courage to protect his countrymen.
He is also nicknamed, ‘The Strongman of the Philippines’ and he was
sworn in as President on June 30, 2016. Let us present some articles on his war
on drugs, corrupt officials and a video game on him:

President Rodrigo Duterte warned mayors in his country that remain on his
suspected drug dealing list that they leave the trade or be killed.
During an
oath-taking ceremony of over 200 appointees on Monday, the 71-year-old leader
said that the mayors should resign and 'make a clean break of everything' or he
would 'really kill you'.
'I
will call the mayors, I will lock them in so it's just us,'
he said in his speech. 'I will really tell them, 'The
list I gave you is this thick. Look for your name there, mayor'.
'If
your name is there, son of a b****, you have a problem, I will really kill
you.'
'Either
you resign or make a clean break of everything, come up with clean nose and
we'll talk,' he added.
Duterte said
that mayors who have ties to the drug dealing industry should be prepared to
have their security and power taken away, Rappler.com reported.
'The
first thing that I would do is to deprive you of the supervisory powers over
the police, second is I will remove all of your security detail,'
he said.
'I
might go down [in] history as the butcher. It's up to you,'
he added.
Duterte has
previously voiced suspicion that mayors are using their power to ensure police
leaders don't get in the way of drug trade in their cities and towns.
The president
has made several threats to kill people connected to drug trade in the country,
but insists the recent wave of drug trade deaths are not the work of the
government.
Duterte was
elected earlier this year partly because he promised to get tough on criminals
in the Philippines, an overwhelmingly Catholic country.
He has made
reviving the death penalty one of his priorities as part of a brutal war on
crime that has already seen 5,300 people killed.
Eighty
percent of Filipinos are Catholics and the Philippines abolished the death
penalty in 2006 following a campaign by the Catholic Church.
But during
his election campaign Duterte had vowed to introduce executions by hanging,
saying he did not want to waste bullets and believed snapping the spinal cord
was more humane than a firing squad.
Duterte, who
was known for his crime-busting antics during his time as Mayor of the southern
city of Davao, said he thought the point of the death penalty was retribution,
not deterrence.
Duterte's war
on crime has drawn international criticism from the United States and United
Nations over concerns about extrajudicial killings and a breakdown in the rule
of law.
A survey by
Social Weather Stations released today showed a majority backed Duterte's war
on drugs but 78 per cent were worried they or someone in their family would
become a victim of extrajudicial killings.
The survey
also showed 71 per cent said it was 'very important' police keep suspects
alive.
Police have
repeatedly said they only killed criminals who fought back but the nation's
rights agency has begun investigating several armed encounters.

AMID 'FAILING' DRUG WAR CLAIMS
Palace: Duterte ‘in full control’ of war on drugs
By: Nestor Corrales

Malacañang assured the public on Friday that President Rodrigo Duterte was in “full control of the drug war” after an article published in the British press said the government’s brutal crackdown on illegal drugs was “failing.”
Robert Muggah, in a story on The
Guardian, slammed Duterte for his relentless approach to stopping illegal drug
trade in the Philippines.
“Even the most adamant supporters of the
war on drugs agree that it is failing. At a major UN summit on drug policy
earlier this year, many member states argued forcefully for a more balanced and
humane approach. But there’s one anti-drug crusader who refuses to face the
facts. For the past six months, Rodrigo Duterte, president of the Philippines,
has waged one of the world’s most vicious counter-narcotics campaigns,” Muggah
said.
“Duterte has a nasty habit of playing fast and
loose with the facts. In a bid to give credence to his drug war, his team
exaggerates and invents data,” he added.
But Communications Secretary Martin
Andanar disputed Muggah’s claims in his four-point rebuttal:
- The Philippines has been successful in the campaign against illegal drugs with the voluntary surrender of 1,017,869 drug personalities, as of January 5 based on data from the Philippine National Police.
- TheDecember 3-6 Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showed that nine out of ten Filipinos believe the drug problem has declined in their areas since the President took office.
- The same survey indicated that a great majority of our people, 77%, gave an excellent rating to the President’s drug war.
- Public support for and trust in the President remain high as people feel secure in their homes, in the streets, day and night. Incidents of homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery, theft, and carnapping have gone down. Index crime volume decreased 31.67% from July to November 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
The Palace official said Muggah’s call
for economic sanctions by foreign countries on the Philippines was unfounded.
“Threats of withdrawal of
development aid and other forms of assistance are totally unfounded. The
President remains undaunted as he will never compromise the dignity of the
nation for foreign aid,”
he said.
He said the President was doing his best
to eliminate illegal drugs in the country.
“There is an enormous drug
problem in the Philippines and he is trying his best to keep the country from
becoming a narco-state,”
he said.
“We hope that other countries
will treat the Philippines as a sovereign nation and with mutual respect,” he added. RAM/rga

You can now virtually participate
in President Rodrigo Duterte’s “war on drugs” by zapping drug addicts from the
safety of your smartphone.
‘Duterte
Fighting Crime 2’ by Taytay Gaming is the leading version of a mobile app
that allows users to shoot and kill red-eyed drug addicts, bandit robbers and
other criminals.
The
latest edition of the app has the added feature of characters representing
Philippine National Police Chief ‘Bato’ as well as Senator Miriam Santiago, who
you can enlist to help fend off criminals.
The game has garnered over 2
million downloads across the Appstore and Googleplay.
However, it is not the only
Duterte-themed crime fighting app in the business. Here are four others
centered on the Philippine president:
“Help Duterte fight crime and
rid the streets of illegal drugs and substances and capture drug lords” by
matching bubbles containing illegal drugs.
2. ‘Duterterador’
Save Duterte from “brain-eating
zombies” by using a slingshot to keep the evil hordes of undead at bay.
Playing the role of Duterte - “the
fearless leader that could take down all the criminals is now in action to kick
them flying away” - use your “Kung Fu attacks” to defeat criminals.
A special edition of the “fighting
crime game” was “developed for everyone who supports President Duterte”
- and the aim is to “shoot all enemies to hell”.
The game comes with the
tough-talking president’s famous sound-bites such as “My God, I hate drugs”,
“Galit ako sa droga” (I am angry with drugs), and “Heto na ang huli
niyong Merry Christmas” (This is your last Merry Christmas) in reference to
his viral Christmas message to criminals last December.
This bizarre trend of featuring a
head of state in violent gaming can presumably be attributed to Duterte’s
controversial approach to tackling drug crime in the Philippines, in which he
vowed to kill 100,000 criminals and feed them to fish. It appears his blunt
remarks have also played a part.
Over 2,200 people have been
killed in the ‘war on drugs’ since Duterte came into power in July, some 1,566
of whom were drug suspects.
The president has hit global
headlines since his election for controversial comments about other state
leaders such as Barack Obama, and comparing himself to Hitler.
