President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is again making reference to his
idol the former Ilocano great President Ferdinand Marcos.
During his speech in the 121st anniversary of the Philippine
Navy in Cavite, he made the statement the Philippines should look for another
authoritarian leader like the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, in order that
corruption downs to its core can be eradicated.
"Sa batas na ito, even if you give me 20 years I cannot do
it. Maghanap uli kayo ng Marcos. Or someday, somehow, somewhere that fellow
will be elected in the generations to come," the President said in a
speech.

Duterte who vowed to get rid of corruption during when he was
seeking the highest position of the land sai he might not fulfill his promise
to the nation nothing that with only 3 years left in his term.
"Sabihin ko, nagsisi ako kasi akala ko within the
constitutional powers na ibinigay sa akin, kaya ko. But truth to tell, kung
araw-araw na lang pati every table dito sa Pilipinas ganoon, hindi ko talaga
mahabol," he said.
Facing endless red tape and pervasive corruption, the Chief
Executive is not as bullish about the country's prospects.
"Kung sabihin mo mag-improve tayo beyond the level that we
find ourselves economically, politically, well I’m sorry, I’m telling you,
hindi dadating ‘yan," Duterte said.
"Not even half what Hong Kong will be in 30 years. Sobra kasi
ang… I don’t know but the constitution that… I’m not trying to criticize. It is
as good as any. Mas mabuti pa kung wala talaga—‘yung kay Cory," he added.
