Today, issues of criminality are used for political gain and sensationalized to provoke civil unrest. It is now the burden of BBM how he will tap the stoned hearts of the DDS by showing them another brand of peace and security.

Duterte made sure that if you commit a "crime", you will feel the wrath of the "law". Hence, many among us support him despite the coarse demeanor.

I feel for the old guy, but recalling how he coarsened our society removes such sympathy.
