Akala ko ba magtipid ng gas pero baket pang-8 helicopter na yata naglaland sa Malacanang grounds sa huling isang oras? May party habang wala si @bongbongmarcos?

@mayaofficialph @MashreqNeo Thanks for your reply, @mayaofficialph. I'm looking forward to a positive resolution to my challenging situation.

Hi @mayaofficialph, I’m a loyal customer who added a large sum to my time deposit, mistakenly thinking I could withdraw it flexibly like some UAE banks (e.g., @MashreqNeo). Due to an urgent need, I intended to withdraw and is being forced to cancel my account and face a 1% penalty on the entire balance, including funds added just few weeks ago, which feels unfair. I’d like to withdraw only the recent amounts without penalty, forgoing interest, and continue my original deposit until December. @mayaofficialph has been a game-changer for me banking in the Philippines, but this is a big let down for me.

Why did Former President Rodrigo Duterte, during his time as Mayor of Davao City and President of the Republic of the Philippines, strongly emphasize peace and order, including the fight against illegal drugs?

For Tatay Digong, (Former President Duterte), law and order weren’t just policies—they were personal. He saw firsthand what crime could do to a city and made it his mission to fix it. Whether through controversial or effective means, Duterte’s legacy in Davao City remains one of transforming a once-dangerous urban center into one of the safest in the country.

1. The Violent Past of Davao City (1970s–1980s)
• Before Duterte became mayor in 1988, Davao City was known as the "Murder Capital of the Philippines" due to rampant crime, communist insurgency, and warlordism.

• The New People’s Army (NPA) had strongholds in the region, and the city was plagued with assassinations, kidnappings, and drug-related violence.

• The presence of vigilante groups made the city one of the most dangerous in the country.

2. Duterte’s Early Career as a Prosecutor
• Before entering politics, Duterte was a prosecutor in Davao City, handling cases involving drugs, criminal syndicates, and rebel groups.

• He witnessed firsthand how crime, impunity, and corruption crippled the city, likely shaping his hardline stance against lawlessness.

3. Personal Convictions on Leadership and Governance
• Duterte has always believed that economic progress is impossible without law and order.

• He saw that past mayors failed to control crime, and he took it upon himself to clean up Davao when he took office in 1988.

• His approach was swift and direct, implementing strict policies on curfews, liquor bans, and firearm regulations.

4. Influence of His Father
• Duterte’s father, Vicente Duterte, was a former governor of the undivided Davao province.

• Vicente was known for his discipline and governance style, and Duterte likely inherited this perspective on strong leadership.

5. His Close Ties with Police and Military
• Unlike traditional politicians, Duterte developed deep ties with law enforcement and the military, understanding their challenges and using them to enforce his vision of order.

• He provided better salaries and benefits to the police in Davao & gave them more operational freedom to combat crime.

6. His Strong Anti-Drug and Anti-Crime Advocacy
• Duterte was particularly aggressive against illegal drugs, seeing them as the root cause of crime.

• He declared that drug lords and criminals had no place in his city, which later became a national policy when he became president.

• His tough stance led to allegations of EJKs, but his supporters argue that it was necessary to maintain order.

7. Support from the Business Community
• Business leaders in Davao City supported Duterte’s law-and-order policies because they made the city safer for investments.

• The once-dangerous city transformed into an attractive destination for investors, with shopping malls, international hotels, and businesses thriving under his tenure.

8. His ‘Strongman’ Leadership Style
• Duterte’s leadership approach is similar to that of other figures known for strong-willed leadership and pragmatism, where results take precedence. He has a no-nonsense approach to crime and discipline.

9. Personal Experience w/ Threats and Violence
• His direct involvement in security matters—sometimes personally joining patrols and inspecting crime scenes at night—showed his commitment to enforcing his policies.

10. Political Longevity and Public Approval
• Duterte’s success in drastically lowering crime rates in Davao led to overwhelming support, and he secured multiple re-election victories (he served 22 years as mayor).

• His “Davao Model” of governance ultimately catapulted him to the presidency, with many Filipinos believed he could replicate the same nationwide.

Former drug addict now living in Europe recounts her story during the time of Duterte’s “War” on Drugs

I am sad and angry and this is my TESTIMONY!
Long post ahead.

Some of you may know my story but not what happened. So I am taking this personal.

When FPRRD launched his campaign for war on dr*gs on the 2016 election, I hated him. Why? Because I was a dr*g add*ct myself. I did not voted for him. And when he won, I was not happy.

Back in 2011-2016 I was living the hardest phase of my life. I was on the streets, doing dr*gs and I was not only hurting myself but mostly the people who loves me, --my family and good friends. I was too influenced by the s*bstance that I got to the point where I did things I wouldn't do if I am sober. I was depressed and I wanted change but I am surrounded with wrong friends so I keep on going back to the deeds.

When FPRRD sat as a president on 2016, he was very serious of cleaning up the streets and started the war on dr*gs and one of his program was the Oplan-Tokhang. I remembered when he said "Pag di pa kayo magbago, ito na ang huli ninyong Merry Christmas".

The changes eventually came, the news of k*ll*ngs and and hundreds or thousands of dr*g personnels that has sent to pr*son started. Some of my friends in the doings moved away and hid themselves, some were lost during the process. It was dirty! But it was the people I know who were on the watchlists for selling dr*gs. It became quiet in the streets. My wrong friends were gone, my sources were gone. It became peaceful and quiet.

Personally, I have been wanting to change. I was tired of the kind of life I had. I was depressed, agr*ssive, disrespectful and becoming more v*olent. I lose myself from my add*ction.

During his Oplan-Tokhang, our barangay got it's own lists of people who were users at that time, I personally surrendered to the program as I wanted change. I was in shock of how serious they were about it. In our barangay, we were 50+ who surrendered to the program, I was the only woman. Twice a month we need to report to the barangay's office where police officers are there too. We had different activities such as cleaning the environment, a visitor who will share the words of God to us, a random dr*gtest every month and most especially an educational program.

The education program was voluntary and was handled by TESDA. We had an amazing trainer with excellent experience in teaching. For 3 weeks, we were trained by the course we took (Bread and Pastry Production). Everyday of those 3 weeks, we were given a free snacks, lunch and money for transportation by the LGU's. Literal na mga tambay gipaeskwela with allowance. We were 20+ on our batch, all were dr*g add*cts and some are juvenile c*nv*cts. We all passed our exams, got our NCII and our teacher, was very proud of us including the assigned police officers and LGU workers who were there during the process. And ofcourse our families. There was HOPE!!

I got cleaned and an opportunity of working abroad came, I became an "AUPAIR" in Denmark for 2 years, and moved to Norway with the same job for 2 years and then I got married. I will be 9 years clean on July of this year and I will never be where I am now without TATAY DIGONG's program and most especially by God's grace. Up to this day in my everyday life, I still apply the knowledge I learned from the program.

Most people only hear the bad side, but what about the lives that changed for the better? Bahala na if dili perfect na akong english diha basta nakapahungaw ko sa akong gibati.

Forever grateful to you my beloved Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte 💚❤️

Former Drug Addict and Convict Speaks Up About the War On Drugs

Tatay Digong, I'm one of the thousands who were imprisoned and went through rehabilitation process.

But instead of being angry, I'm grateful to Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte as an instrument in giving me a second chance at life. Maybe if I had died during his time, it would have been a consequence of my choices-but instead, I am here, given another opportunity to change, grow, and make a difference.

Before the War on Drugs, drugs were uncontrolled in every corner of our place. Wherever you looked, there were users and dealers openly operating, communities living in fear, and families being torn apart by addiction and crime. The poison of drugs was destroying my life, pulling me into a cycle of darkness, pain, and regret. It affected not just me, but also my loved ones, destroying relationships and stealing my future—until I was given a second chance to turn things around.

When a brave leader came and dared to confront this problem, our place slowly began to change.
Pushers and users, including myself, were scared, awakened, and some were forced to change their lives.

Inside the jail, I truly got to know the Lord. Amidst my downfall moments, my regrets, and my brokenness, I strengthened my faith, and in Him, I found light amidst the darkness that had consumed my life, guiding me toward redemption, hope, and a new purpose.
Now, everyone who knows me is aware that I used to be a menace to society, lost and consumed by vices. But God changed me, lifted me from my dark past. And one of the biggest instruments of the change in my life was the best, bravest, and greatest president in Philippine history-Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Thankyou very much, Tay! By the grace of God, I was given a second chance at life and truly got to know the LORD. Now, l'm determined to continue changing-not just for myself, but to be an inspiration and instrument of hope for others. We love you, Tay. I will tell my kids about the sacrifices you made and the changes you brought to our country —how you fought for peace, order, and the future of the next generation.

@patrickbetdavid What is their assist-to-turnover ratio? I need to compare their teams that reached the finals versus competitors. I love PBD and hate LeBron's politics, but this comparison is unfair because you cherry-picked the stat lines. Check PPG, APG, RPG. I've got LeBron on this one. Easy.
