And since it is Duterte who made the announcement on Boracay being awarded to the inhabitants, I just feel fettered in making any comment on the matter. In every region of the world, changing times have boosted public demand for more muscular, assertive leadership. The man deserves the most honorable mention in this discussion – President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. In fact, the subhead says it all: “My last say on Duterte: Be a strongman.”Has President Duterte been listening to me after all? That Time magazine proclaims him to be among the top four world authoritarian rulers should prod me in again making a say of him day after day after day.
