A video documentary from Aljazeera about Mayor Rodrigo Duterte entitled, “Rodrigo Duterte: Guns, Goons and the Presidency” is doing the rounds recently.
The video was posted on the YouTube channel called Aljazeera English on April 7, 2016 and has since generated 3,046 views as of this Friday evening and growing.
In their own words, Aljazeera described Mayor Rodrigo Duterte in a nutshell and quote:
Filipinos love an action man, not just in the movies but in politics too. And you can’t get more of an action man than politician Rodrigo Duterte. His hometown, Davao City, was once a violent no-go area overrun by criminals.
But he turned it around when he became mayor, wielding brutal tactics including, allegedly, death squads. Now the hard man of city hall wants to take on the presidency and despite – or maybe because of – his fearsome approach, this outspoken statesman has a real chance of winning the top seat.
The video was hosted by Steve Chao and produced under the 101 East production.
The video responded positive reviews from netizens. Let us read together their comments below.

Filipinos cannot find another Duterte in 10 or 20 years as long as the money is the main objective of every politicians vying for the highest position of the land instead of being a servant of the taxpayers, the Filipino people.

I doubt if they can make a documentary from the other candidates as good as this they are all bunch of traditional politicians who steal the people’s money and disregards the complaints of the citizens with zero to little accomplishments to boot. Mayor Rody Duterte is the best candidate even though his ways are harsh as long as this can benefit everyone in a long period of time then I’ll willingly support him

I love the VIDEO…GO DUTERTE!!!
Hard on criminals, big heart to the poor and the oppressed… who else is willing to risk his life for others?
Iron hand is needed in this country where obedience to law is already optional. Return to the rule of law is what DUCAY can and will do…..there is no other presidentiables with the caliber of DUCAY……may be in the next 10 to 20 years…Hindi na Ako makapaghihintay…..ngayon na!!! Change now and!!!Ducay alone no other,,,,,,horayyyyyy…..(pons c)
We’re with you, sir Pons. Almost can’t wait for the REAL CHANGE. this is NOW, for a better Pinas for our children/apos/apo sa tuhod,etx
Only in the Philippines – where idiocy reigns and is being applauded. You can not enforce laws by violating laws. As simple as that. You can not use violence, coercion to uphold law and order!
tumanda nalang ako kung ganito pa rin ang sistema sa pinas,ala din mangyari,trapo uli,hay naku,kawawa ung future generation ng mga bagong sibol,,,duterte kailangan,,,testingin mo bro kung ikaw o pamilya ang biktima ng mga durugista at mga rapist at mga etcetera pang salot sa lipunan….#ducay2016
Marcos’ martial law was to round up and or kill THOSE WHO WERE AGAINST HIM!
Digong is going to round up and kill CRIMINALS, DRUG LORDS and CORRUPT people!
that is where the BIG difference is… you may NOT LIKE HIM, or DISAGREE with him, but for as long as you are a good law abiding citizen , YOU DON”T HAVE to worry!
Mayor Duterte spoke consistently his form of government to be…I believe his words that’s why i make to decide and say that he Du30 will be the next president of the Philippines.GOD is good HE hears the voice of the many crying for hunger/injustice /corrupt etc…No more herit Du30 na or DuCay2016.
Some say durian is awful, we say.. Just try… And you will know… Just try…..
Some say our DU30 is awful…we say ..just try and you will know….just try…
We heard all candidates their personality and visions but none of them can equal Duterte he is the man . the other presidentiables made no difference with the past, I am so tired of old rotten politics I hunger for change even if it caused lives its better that way than a civil war. I go for Duterte for a change and if failed God save the country.
I like the video. Perhaps it would be a great question to ask Mar and we will receive a “very positive” yes as well. Cheers!
Yes Steve, Mayor Duterte will be the next President of the Republic of the Philippines!
DUTERTE is not perfect , but the FILIPINO deserve a lesser evil to rule the nation for a change , LET US VOTE DUTERTE …
I’ll go 100% for Duterte
Criminals.. Drug Lords and Corrupt Politicians… doesn’t care less in killing people’s lives either directly or indirectly. So what’s the difference in just killing them too… whether extra judicially or using the sting of the law?… Does that make me human?… NO. But if allow them to just kill me so I will not become “inhumane” by killing them, does that make me human too? #ExtraJudicialKillings #DavaoDeathSquad #HumanRights #ThingsToPonder #Halalan2016 #VotePH #VoteWisely #TunayNaPagbabago #DuterteCayetano #Federalismo
Yes! Duterte for 2016.
And,it’s time to have a President of the Republic of the Philippines that came from Mindanao for the first time in the History.
Very nice Documentary AlJazeera. Good job!
Two Thumbs up! Congratulations to the team.
YES, DUTERTE IS THE RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD THIS TROUBLED COUNTRY , THE MAN WITH W[LL POWER, COURAGEOUS, FEARLESS WITH A HEART FOR THE POOR AND THE OPPRESSED, SO TARA LETS SUPPORT HIM FOR A PROGRESSIVE AND PEACEFUL PHILIPPINES!
The Mayor maybe hard in his ways but he has a soft heart for the poor and the oppressed. he may have killed people but they are the criminals, a menace to the society. I say, this time is for DUTERTE!
very substantive and balanced reporting from Steve Chao, Go DU30!
People want change, and duterte is the man who can do it.
