Well in any case , it just popped up into my install list randomly . <| sep |> Kiwi working in the Philippines , Filipinos support him , I reckon , simply because , the vast majority are uneducated and poor . If you come here , the best education you ' ll get will be handled by the Church , who ' re more interested in church doctrine rather than religious doctrine even than fact . Unless of course you pour in money which will boggle the mind of even the rich in NZ . Duterte comes along as an outsider kinda like Trump sells his track record of slightly improving Davao City , and the people love him because he ' s one of us . They don ' t have the same understanding of basic human rights etc , because they weren ' t taught the importance of it . Hang out with the business community here , you ' ll find that western groups and a fair amount of the elite don ' t like him , Chinese businesses which hold a lot of the wealth and influence in the Philippines however do like him , simply because it doesn ' t affect them , and because they hold similar views on crime and punishment . There ' s definitely a lot of loyalists and fanboyism from his supporters .
