Duterte defends ‘dictatorial style’ of governance
The only way for the Philippines to prosper is to have an “autocratic style of governance,” President Rodrigo Duterte said while admitting that he is a “dictator.
”
Speaking before former communist rebels in Malacañang, the President said, “If you say dictator, well, I am really a dictator.”
He adds that there is a need to be one because if he would not implement a tough governance, nothing will happen to the country.
Moreover, Duterte slammed his critics labeling him as a puppet of the United States, saying such accusation is impossible because he does not even want to interact with Americans.
