I am starting to suspect that what we are seeing now is a Duterte revolution. Are we seeing a New Revolution led by Supremo Duterte? His campaign — and victory — had overthrown the old order of well-financed political parties, of political machines, and patronage networks. The EDSA I Revolution merely restored the old ruling classes’ almost absolute powers. His curses and off-color jokes had broken the old order of respectable campaign speeches.
