Is a Corrupt Leader Better Than an Honest Leader Who Swears?

Some Filipinos would prefer a corrupt leader who employs tact and conciliation to an honest and loyal leader who swears every now and then. It is OK with them that corruption is rampant and drug addiction deteriorates this country so long as no human rights are abused. It is OK with them that criminals and drug addicts rob, rape women and children, kill so long as their rights are not kicked around. Yes, they have the point. But why is it their criticisms are only focused on demonising the President? If they are indeed so concerned with this problem, they should take part in a campaign to stop the use of illegal drugs by encouraging their friends and neighbourhood to desist from their vices, discouraging drug addicts and pushers and making them feel alarmed instead of cinching them of their rights despite their criminal activities. I think what the President wants when he says he'll kill them all is not really to inflict death on them, but to terrorise them to give themselves up to the control of drugs. Our president should hold his head up high, work his tail end off, and be even better and stronger because of the Yellow, whose agenda is to destroy his reputation and credibility. Their hateful words hurt and over time they can take a mental and emotional toll on him, but he doesn't have to be a nice or likable person in order to be a leader. Mr Duterte has to be tough. The war on drugs is no joke. It’s not always going to be easy, but he being a strong beacon people can count on is what is necessary for the Filipino people and his legacy. The war on drugs is for the future of this country unless you are into drugs and criminality.
