Duterte is PNoy’s real legacy

If recent poll surveys are any indicator, Davao City mayor and Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) presidential bet Rody Duterte might very well be the next occupant of Malacañang. And if that becomes a reality, Duterte has PNoy to thank for his victory.

Duterte’s oft-repeated campaign promise to stop corruption, criminality and the proliferation of drugs within six months, even if highly improbable, has resonated loudly with many Filipinos who are angry, disenchanted and frustrated at PNoy’s vindictive, callous, and self-righteous governance.
