Editor's Take:

Rodrigo Duterte was one of the most controversial leaders in Philippine history. A former prosecutor, he was mayor of Davao City for more than 20 years, promising to clean up crime. He won the presidency in 2016 with tough, crude language that delighted supporters. His war on drugs killed thousands of people, many in police operations and killings by unknown gunmen. He insulted foreign leaders and moved closer to China. In 2025 he was arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
