President Rodrigo Roa Duterte President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 in Maasin, Southern Leyte to Vicente Duterte and Soledad Roa who were both civil servants. His mother was a public school teacher while his father was a government worker. Duterte traces his roots to the Visayas. He spent his early years in Danao, Cebu, the hometown of his father. But his lineage has also direct ties from Mindanao as his mother hails from Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte while his paternal grandmother was a Maranao. In 1949, when Duterte was four years old, his familt resettled in the then-undivided Davao where his father Vicente later entered the political arena and was elected governor of the province and served from 1959 to 1965. Duterte graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science at the Lyceum of the Philippines University and obtained a law degree from San Beda College of Law in 1972. He passed the bar exam that same year. He served as special counsel and later on became a city prosecutor at the City Prosecutor’s Office in Davao City from 1977 until 1986, when he was appointed as OIC Vice Mayor of Davao City. He ran and successfully won the mayoralty post in 1988. Since then, Duterte has not lost an election. He is among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines and has been Mayor of Davai City for severn terms, totalling more than 22 years. He also served as vice-mayor and as congressman of the city’s first congressional district. On May 9, 2016, Duterte won a landslide victory as the 16th President of the Philippines, with 16.6 million votes, the highest number of votes won by any Philippine president before him, with a margin of 6.6 million votes from the second placer. He was officially proclaimed by a joint session of the Philippine Congress on May 30, 2016. He is the first President from Mindanao, and the first local chief executive to get elected straight to the Office of the President. .

President Duterte's First Year in Office
ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 28 June 2017 Ignoring the Curve: President Duterte’s First Year in Office Malcolm Cook* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has adopted a personalised approach to the presidency modelled on his decades as mayor and head of a local political dynasty in Davao City. His political history, undiminished popularity and large Congressional majorities weigh heavily against any change being made in approach. In the first year of his presidential term this approach has contributed to legislative inertia and mixed and confused messages on key policies. Statements by the president and leaders in Congress questioning the authority of the Supreme Court in relation to martial law, and supporting constitutional revision put into question the future of the current Philippine political system. * Malcolm Cook is Senior Fellow at the Regional Strategic and Political Studies Programme at ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2017 No. 44 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION After his clear and surprise victory in the 9 May 2016 election, many observers, both critical and sympathetic, argued that Rodrigo Duterte would face a steep learning curve when he took his seat in Malacañang (the presidential palace) on 30 June 2016.1 Being president of the Philippines is very different than being mayor of Davao City in southern Mindanao. Learning curve proponents argue that his success in mounting this curve from mayor and local political boss to president would be decisive for the success of his administration and its political legacy. A year into his single six-year term as president, it appears not only that President Duterte has not mounted this steep learning curve, he has rejected the purported need and benefits of doing so.2 While there may be powerful political reasons for this rejection, the impact on the Duterte administration and its likely legacy appears quite decisive.

Although populism is not new to the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte; elections; Duterte exhibits features of contemporary populism that are befit- democracy ting of an age of communicative abundance. This commentary contrasts Duterte’s political style with other presidential conten- ders, characterises his relationship with the electorate and con- cludes by mapping populism’s democratic and anti-democratic tendencies, which may define the quality of democratic practice in the Philippines in the next six years. The first six months of 2016 were critical moments for Philippine democracy. In February, the nation commemorated the 30th anniversary of the People Power Revolution – a series of peaceful mass demonstrations that ousted the dictator Ferdinand Marcos. President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III – the son of the president who replaced the dictator – led the commemoration. He asked Filipinos to remember the atrocities of the authoritarian regime and the gains of democracy restored by his mother. He reminded the country of the torture, murder and disappearance of scores of activists whose families still await compensation from the Human Rights Victims’ Claims Board.

The Duterte Bloodline
The Duterte Bloodline Saturday, 05 December 2015 21:43 By Antonio V. Figueroa The Dutertes, one of the political clans in Davao Region, historically come from Cebu. Oral tradition points out that there were actually two Duterte clans in that province, one from the south and the other from the north. The Davao lineage, accordingly, traces its roots to northern Cebu, to couple Facundo Duterte and Zoila Gonzales whose marriage bore five children, namely: Ramon, Sr. who was married to Rosario Regis of Carcar; Mariano tied the knot with Salud Calvo; Soledad wedded Epifanio Rodis; Jorge married Estefania Dacayana; and former Davao governor Vicente, fondly called ‘Teti’ but known as ‘Nene’ in Danao City, became the husband of Soledad Roa, mother of Davao City mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte. A half-brother, the illegitimate son of Facundo, was Adolfo Enriquez, who took the surname of his mother as was the practice then. He lived in Cavite. Ramon, born on Dec. 23, 1901 in Danao City, was fondly called ‘Lolo Banawa’; he earned his Bachelor of Laws from the Philippine Law School in 1925. Three decades later, he was elected vice mayor of Cebu City, with Sergio Osmeña Jr., his running mate, as mayor. He took over as city chief executive (Sept. 13, 1957-Dec. 31, 1959) when Osmeña resigned to run for Congress. Aside from becoming a judge of the Court of First Instance, Ramon was also a Law professor at the University of the Visayas and the University of Southern Philippines. A Cebu City street was named after him by virtue of City Ordinance No.

A Biography of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, by Earl G
Book Review Beyond Will and Power: A Biography of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, by Earl G. Parreño. Lapu-lapu City: Optima Typographics, 2019. Pp. 227. ISBN 9786218161023. Cleve V. Arguelles For an enigmatic man like Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, to write an account of the man’s life is surely a demanding enterprise. Independent journalist Earl Parreño boldly took up the challenge and succeeded in constructing a comprehensive profile of the man. Through a laborious gathering of countless interviews and documents, the result is the book Beyond Will and Power, a short biography of Duterte focusing on his political and family life prior to his rise to Malacañang. While a cottage industry around Duterte has been booming among many writers since his presidential victory in 2016, many works produced have barely scratched the surface. This book is both a timely and necessary intervention: the details of his past lives, especially before his time as the infamous Davao City mayor, have yet to be made accessible. The emphasis on the rich political and family life trajectories of the Duterte clan, meaningfully situated in the sociohistorical development of Davao, Mindanao, and the nation, is the book’s most significant contributions. However, the book’s attempt to decouple Duterte from his destructive legacy to Philippine society is a weak point that cannot be easily overlooked. In this review, I will give a brief overview of the book, followed by a short discussion of what this biography can potentially offer for the study of Philippine politics and society, and ends with a critical reflection on the ethics of writing a political biography.

Chapter Ii Illegal Drugs
CHAPTER II ILLEGAL DRUGS: CASES INDONESIA AND PHILIPPINES II.1 INDONESIA’S ILLEGAL DRUGS II.1.1 Illegal Drugs in Indonesia Republic Indonesia or Indonesia are countries in Southeast Asia, located on the equator and located between the Asian and Australian continents and between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.1 Indonesia also has 257 million population which make Indonesia on rank 4th the biggest population in the world. Indonesia is bordered with Malaysia on the island of Borneo, with Papua New Guinea on the island of Papua and with Timor Leste on Timor Island. Other neighboring countries are Singapore, Philippines, Australia, and the union territories of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India.2 Therefore with more than 17.000 islands, Indonesia has become the largest archipelago in the world. However, this also means that Indonesia becomes very susceptible with drugs since according to UNDOC, maritime trafficking have the largest average weight and quantities of drugs seized. Therefore, geographically 1 http://indonesia.go.id/?page_id=479&lang=id Access on 21 September 2017. At 19:21PM 2 http://indonesia.go.id/?page_id=479&lang=id Ibid. Indonesia is a perfect market for drugs, especially when 80% of drugs in Indonesia come from the sea which means maritim shipment has a bigger impact from the other trafficking.3 Chart II.1: Drugs transportation supply and market around the world.4 Sources: World Drugs Report 2015 Even though the chart showis that the sea trafficking have a small impact on seizures and medium level on quantities seized, but since Indonesia is archipelago country which makes it have so many offshore, it becomes the most favorite drug trafficking to make a deal with the drug dealers.
