He wasnt “supposed to win” because he wasnt the favored candidate, so its toys outta da pram. The model cant be wrong so all the worse for reality.

The drug trade in the Philippines is run by the Sinaloa cartel (which the US DEA has been proven to cooperate with over multiple years), and drug sales provide a massive funding source to buy off police, judges, politicians.

Taking on drugs removes much of the financial backing of corruption, and ruthless policing provides a strong discentive for involvement in the drug trade or corruption. The jailing of De Lima is writing on the wall for the others. Duterte appointed one of the most corrupt Pinoys of all time to be envoy to the US, so its hard to tell how serious he is about fixing things.

Funny how Duterte is being criticized for “extra judicial killings” after Obama presided over the extrajudicial drone killings of thousands of people, and instigated wars which killed tens of thousands. Crickets
