Duterte on National Defense and Peace and Order

If Duterte become a president, I believed that he can strengthen our national defense by improving our military system. We knew that our soldiers are lack of armaments and their benefits are not enough to compensate their hard work. Once he improved the system, it would boost the moral of our soldiers.

Duterte is not relying to the promises of America that's why he is not supporting VFA. As an independent country, he believed that we should stand on our own. It's our responsibility to protect our country if there is a country that want to invade or oppress us. We also knew that China is bullying us right now because of our territory disputes with them. Duterte had already proclaim that he don't have intention to declare war against China because we are not ready for that. He wanted to sit and talk with them to solve the problem. It cannot be solved through a bloody war.

Yes, Duterte is a leader who is aiming peace despite the fact that he is known for being brave. If he become our president, he has a capability to negotiate with the leaders of other countries who have interest in our natural resources. But Duterte is not a kind of leader has own decision and it can't be dictated by other countries. So, we should expect that it is possible that there is a country that would angry to us because of his style of leadership. So, we need to be alert at all times. If we have a strong national defense, we don't need to worry about anything.

In terms of peace and order, this is the battlecry of Duterte. Under his administration, criminals has no room in this country. Duterte will bring back the death penalty even the Catholic Church is opposing it. He believed that this punishment would bring fear into the minds of the criminal. It is possible that they think thrice before they commit a henoism crime. One thing also, Duterte is a number one enemy of drug trafficking. If he become a president, the numbers of drug lords and drug pushers would be lessen. We knew that illegal drugs is the cause of many crimes. So, we need a leader like Duterte who have a political will to stop this kind of menace in our country. In the end, there is a possibility that we can live in a peaceful society through Duterte's iron hand!
