The Philippines At A Crossroads

Upon the election of President Duterte, the Philippines took a more independent course in foreign and domestic policies. Rather than follow the desire of some powerful interests locally and in the West, President Duterte is now directing the country truly in accordance with his pre-election platform that reeks of a very strong sense of nationalism and love of country.

This does not sit well with geopolitical agenda of the above mentioned interests, and as a result President Duterte is now besieged with concerted tirades to defame his presidency. With the  support and trust of 91%  of Filipinos, these interests are trying to weaken Duterte's popularity in order to create a space for their hidden agenda.

President duterte is deemed the strongest president the Philippines ever had since Marcos. The vast majority of Filipinos are pinning their hope on this for real change ie. political, economic, social, institutional, etc. in the Philippines. The pressures are great but with his strong political will, the fruits are starting to come-up.

The Philippines is now at a crossroads for change. On this, it is the will of the people that must prevail, so much so, that now is the most crucial time for Filipinos to show love of country and support the President. God bless the Philippines.
