Duterte’s stand-up comedy act (Suca) (Part 2)At the outset, Duterte served notice that his SONA would be about a radical departure from orthodox methods of running a government. In his SONA, Duterte said, “There can be no human rights where there is no dignity.” I shuddered at the pronouncement.

So scores of drug users and drug pushers fall into police hands day after day.
