Will Duterte unleash his ‘dogs of war’?

MAYOR Rodrigo Duterte’s tough talk and low regard for the Constitution have resulted in dire predictions for the Philippines should he win in the May 9  presidential election.

Alarm bells were rung when Duterte made the irresponsible threat to close down Congress once impeachment charges are filed against him for his undeclared bank accounts and allegedly ill-gotten wealth and property. This showed he wants no accountability at all, that he considers himself untouchable. In other words, he wants to be a tyrant, a no-no under a democratic government.
