Before becoming President in 2016, Duterte was the mayor of Davao, a sprawling southern metropolis, for 22 years, and gained fame for making the city one of the country’s safest from street crimes. He used Davao’s reputation to cast himself as a tough-talking anti-establishment politician ahead of the 2016 elections.

In the final campaign rally that year, Duterte told the crowd to “forget the laws on human rights”. He added, “You drug pushers, holdup men and do-nothings, you better go out… Because I’ll kill you.”


Dang, the hero the city needed.

It was an expedient way of getting rid of your political rival. He was gearing to run again as mayor of Davao. Marcos saw him as a political threat so he seized this opportunity to have him arrested and ship overseas beyond the reach of Duterte's supporters. I wouldn't be surprised if Duterte's supporters violently revolt against Marcos.
