When a former head of state who offered his life for the service of Filipinos, 80-years old frail man, Tatay Rodrigo “Digong” Roa Duterte is supposed to be resting comfortably with his family at his own home in Davao, is instead in another country surrounded by strangers, sleeping alone. That’s the sad situation our Tatay Digong is in, a result of the political ambitions of the heartless Bong Bong Marcos.
When Tatay Digong was the President of the Philippines, he made sure good law-abiding citizens can sleep comfortably in their homes, protected against the danger of drug addicts and bad elements of the society. Armed with his strong political will, from the day one of his presidency, he made sure he fulfilled his campaign promises, specially the war on drugs.
With his war on drugs, he coordinated with the Brgy Captains across the country to identify drug users and drug pushers. He warned drug pushers to stop and surrender. He warned drug users to surrender for rehabilitation. Those who followed his warning were in good hands, rehabilitated for a second chance in life.
He instructed police authorities to do what is necessary for his drug campaign to succeed on its purpose. Those suspects who did not cooperate, resisted and put the police authorities in danger unfortunately were dealt with by force and some unfortunately perished.
As in a war, death to those involved are inevitable. Unfortunately, without Duterte’s control, there were abuses made by police who took advantage on the protection promise of Duterte. Some incidents were also orchestrated by Digong’s Critics and Drug Syndicates.
In short, there was no Extra Judicial Killings that occured during Tatay Digong’s term, on his watch. If there were Extra Judicial Killings, it was not Tatay Digong’s control and instruction. Tatay Digong saved humanity. He protected the lives of Filipinos against the evil of drugs.
