4 Ka Rason Nganong Angayang Palagputon Si Duterte
4 ka rason nganong angayang palagputon si Duterte Kagawaran sa Impormasyon Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas Hulyo 2019 obra na ang tiranikong paghari ug terorismo ni Rodrigo Duterte. Dili moubos sa upat ang pinakadakung hinungdan kung nganong kinahanglan na siyang palag- puton sa pwesto. Bugtong sa pagpalagpot kaniya sa pwesto ug pagpanubag ka- Sniya sa iyang mga kalapasan ug krimen makatikang paabante ang katawhang Pilipino. Walay kaulaw ang pagluhod ni Duterte sa mga langyaw. Pakana lang ang iyang “inde- pendyenteng palisiyang panggawas.” Ang tinuod, nagpagamit siya sa duha ka dagkung ga- hum aron magpabilin sa poder ug palapdon ang interes sa pinakasuod kaniya. Siya ang nu- mero unong papet sa imperyalistang US ug bayaran sa China. Layong nalabwan na niya ang rekord sa kanhing diktaduryang Marcos ug kapareho ni- yang kawatan nga si Arroyo sa kadaghanon sa mga gipapatay sulod sa mubo nga panahon. Gigamit niya ang tibuok makinarya sa estado, gikan sa sangay sa ehekutibo hangtud lehis- latibo ug hudisyal, ingonman ang tibuok burukrasyang sibil ug militar, aron palanaton ang paghari sa iyang pundok ug makamonopolyo sa pinakadakung kapuslanan. Ilalum sa iyang paghari, nag-antus ang katawhan tungod sa kawad-on sa disenteng suhulan, trabaho ug panginabuhian, ingonman sa maayong serbisyong pangpubliko. Giga- mit lang niya ang lehitimong mga mulo ug pangayo sa katawhan aron ilusot ang makilang- yaw ug makikapitalistang mga pakana. Labaw pa niyang ginapuga ang pinakakabus nga Pi- lipino aron pondohan ang mga programang Build, Build, Build nga ginakurakot sa iyang pa- milya ug ginapahimuslan sa pinakaadunahang Pilipino. Si Duterte ang pinakagikasilagan nga dagway sa burukrata-kapitalismo sa kasamta- ngan.

Philippines-US Alliance Under Duterte: Unravelling?

Philippines-US Alliance Under Duterte: Unravelling? By Aaron Jed Rabena SYNOPSIS Since the election of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, various uncertainties have confronted Philippines-US relations. These are mainly due to human rights issues and the challenge posed by China in the South China Sea. COMMENTARY IN JANUARY 2020, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the termination process of the longstanding Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) with its lone security ally, the United States. The move rekindled anti-US sentiments and stoked widespread disapproval from the general public, including pro-US quarters in the country. According to the Duterte government, the reason for the VFA abrogation is the lack of respect for Philippine sovereignty or the “accumulation of a series of disrespectful acts” committed by some American senators against the Philippine government and its officials. US Action on Human Rights Apparently, this latest outburst from Duterte was triggered by calls by a number of US Senators to release the detained staunch Duterte critic Senator Leila de Lima and the revocation of the US visa of one of Duterte’s strongest political allies, Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who was the former head of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and chief implementor of Duterte’s controversial war on drugs.

4 Na Dahilan Kung Bakit Dapat Patalsikin Si Duterte
4 na dahilan kung bakit dapat patalsikin si Duterte Kawanihan sa Impormasyon Partido Komunista ng Pilipinas Hulyo 2019 obra na ang paghaharing tiraniko at terorismo ni Rodrigo Duterte. Hindi bababa sa apat ang pinakamalalaking dahilan kung bakit dapat na siyang patalsikin. Tanging sa pagtanggal sa kanya sa pwesto at pagpapanagot sa kanyang mga Skasalanan at krimen makahahakbang pasulong ang mamamayang Pilipino. Walang kahihiyan ang pangangayupapa ni Duterte sa mga dayuhan. Asta lamang ang kanyang “independyenteng patakarang panlabas.” Ang totoo, nagpapagamit siya sa dalawang malalaking kapangyarihan para makapanatili sa poder at palawakin ang interes ng pinakamalalapit sa kanya. Siya ang numero unong tuta ng imperyalistang US at bayad ng China. Malayong nalampasan na niya ang rekord ng dating diktadurang Marcos at kapwa niya magnanakaw na si Arroyo sa dami ng mga ipinapatay sa loob ng maiksing panahon. Ginagamit niya ang buong makinarya ng estado, mula sa sangay ng ehekutibo tungong lehislatibo at hudisyal, gayundin ang buong burukrasyang sibil at militar, para palawigin ang paghahari ng kanyang pangkatin at makakopo ng pinakamalaking pakinabang. Sa ilalim ng kanyang paghahari, nagdusa ang mamamayan dahil sa kawalan ng disenteng sahod, trabaho at mapagkakakitaan, gayundin ng matitinong serbisyong pampubliko. Ginamit lang niya ang lehitimong mga hinaing at adhikain ng mamamayan para ilusot ang makadayuhan at makakapitalistang mga pakana. Pinipiga pa niyang lalo ang pinakamahihirap na Pilipino para pondohan ang mga programang Build, Build, Build na kinukurakot ng kanyang pamilya at pinakikinabangan ng pinakamayayamang Pilipino. Si Duterte ang pinakanakamumuhing mukha ng burukrata-kapitalismo sa kasalukuyan. Kinakatawan niya ang brutalidad ng mga panginoong maylupa at kahayukan ng mga burgesya-kumprador.

Duterte's Presidency: New Politics, Same Politicians
Social Ethics Society Journal of Applied Philosophy Special Issue, December 2018, pp. 161-180 Duterte's Presidency: New Politics, Same Politicians Noe M. Santillan University of the Philippines - Cebu [email protected] Abstract A new hope has sprouted from the southern part of the Philippines. Politicians outside the Manila-circle felt that they were vindicated when Duterte won the presidency. Of course, the entire nation rejoices with the coming of a “non- traditional” politician, and self-proclaimed leftist and socialist president. But the first two years of Duterte's presidency compel Filipinos to ponder what's going on with the country. Thus, this paper focuses on the incongruity of Duterte's promises with his implementing policies: first, his being leftist and socialist with neoliberal policies implemented; second, democracy with looming tyranny; third, independent-foreign policy while remaining subservient to U.S.A.; lastly, integrating Rousseau's Social Contract Theory, the country's representative democracy is dealt with the government’s insensitivity to its own polity. Concluding, the paper argues that Duterte's new politics maintain, if not worsen, the socio-politico economic problems he inherits from the preceding presidents. Keywords: Duterte, democracy, neoliberal policy, Rousseau, Social Contract Theory Introduction Over the past years, Filipinos were no longer excited and hopeful in Philippine politics. But the idea of development in Philippine politics being inclusive and transformative under Duterte is as promising as Jesus’ Second Coming. During the campaign period, he has repeatedly proclaimed himself leftist and © 2018 Noe M. Santillan eISSN: 2546-1885 162 Noe M. Santillan socialist but not communist.1 The people from the lowest stratum of Philippine social structure feel that they have found a non- traditional politician who accompanies them in their struggles.

Tatlong Taon Ni Duterte, Sumasahol Na Kalagayan

Bumabagal na ang takbo ng ekonomiya, tuloy-tuloy ang Npagkasalanta ng kabuhayan ng mamamayan dulot ng neoliberal na mga polisiya, habang papalaki ang ganansya ng iilan. Labis na sinunod ng gobyerno ang kapritso ng merkado, gayundin ang dikta ng malalakas na ekonomiya gaya ng US at China. Kasama ng kanilang mga lokal na kasapakat, kabilang ang mga oligarkiya sa ekonomiya at mismong pamahalaan, labis na pinagtubuan ng mga dayuhang namumuhunan at imperyalistang bansa ang lahat ng aspeto ng buhay ng mamamayan. l114 Timog Avenue, Quezon City, 1103 Philippines Tels. +63 2 927 7060 to 61 Fax +63 2 929 2496 www.ibon.org 2 IBON Praymer l Hulyo 2019 IBON Praymer Hulyo 2019 3 Sa kabilang banda, nakikinabang sa ganitong kaayusan si Duterte. Nakaayon ito sa kanyang interes na manatili sa poder. Naging malinaw ito sa nakalipas na tatlong taon sa paggamit ni Duterte ng mekanismo ng batas hanggang dahas para itulak ang kanyang mga interes. Ang atakeng pang-ekonomiya, pagdausdos ng demokrasya, at malawakang pagyurak sa karapatang pantao sa nakalipas ng tatlong taon ay lalo lamang nagreresulta sa paglakas ng pagkakaisa ng mamamayan upang labanan ang maling sistema. At ito ang kinatatakutan ni Duterte – ang nagkakaisang lakas ng mamamayan para panagutin siya at ang kanyang rehimen sa kanilang mga krimen sa sambayanan. Umunlad ba ang ekonomiya ng Pilipinas sa 1 tatlong taon ni Duterte, katulad ng kanyang ipinangako? Hindi. Katunayan, tuloy-tuloy ang pagbagal ng ekonomiya. Sa unang 11 kwarto ng administrasyon, mula 7.1% paglago noong pangatlong kwarto ng 2016, bumagal ito sa 5.6% nitong unang kwarto ng 2019.
