Duterte Predicts That He May Not Able To Finish His Six-Year Term As President
On Friday (November 05, 2016), President Duterte predicted that he may not able to survive his six-year term as the Philippine president.
The president seemed overwhelmed by the enormity of his duty including his war on illegal drugs. Duterte said it will be a very lonely life due to his heavy workload, responsibility, and secluded existence now as he outlined in his rambling speech. “Will I survive the six years? I’d make a prediction, maybe not,” said by Duterte.
Since Duterte takes over the position of being the Philippine president on June 30, 2016, he already starts to implement the war on illegal drugs which criticized by United States (US) and European Union (EU) amid Extra Judicial Killings (EJK) in the country.
The president launches a series of tirades after US, EU, and human right group’s criticism on his war on illegal drugs. Earlier, he also announced that the Philippines is cutting its ties with its former colonial ruler and longtime ally America and will be more dependent on China.
