Law and order has been an illusion in the Philippines for the past 30 years.
That changed during the election last May.
Those who stand to lose a lot with changes to the system are the most vocal critics of Duterte.
There's no such thing as a perfect leader.
Still, there's a reason why Filipinos continue to place their trust in Duterte.
As an American, I'd rather believe in the views of Filipinos on the ground rather than New York Times writers writing from their air conditioned cubicles in glass towers in New York about events taking place on the other side of the planet.
