Don't get me wrong, i am completely against Manny being a senator. But i would like to give Duterte a chance, same with the 90-95% Filipinos here in Qatar who voted for him. This is the first in a long time that it seems different, seems legit and seems very promising. Yes his attitude is a bit scary when you think about it. But for 27 years of my existence, i've heard promises after promises that never happened with the past 2 presidential elections i witnessed. You can't blame us if we think maybe choosing a president like that. We've had worse.

In the end, we may prosper or get even worse. It's the chance that we wanted to take for a change.
