It’s not clear if Abu Turaife can garner support from IS adherents in the region and galvanize local militants or whether pro-IS groups in the Philippines are on the decline.
The president of the Philippines is Bongbong Marcos, son of the former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He was vice president since 2016, and then was elected president in 2022.
Also Duterte was notorious for extra-judicial killing of poor people that may or may not be involved in drug trades/consumption. So another reason to not praise him.
He is the first Philippine candidate to lose a vice presidential campaign but win the presidency.
And about Duterte, exactly my point; imagine the level of competence it takes to run such a crazy (and sorry to say so, but successful) war on drugs while (probably) being involved in drug trading yourself! And then all the other crazy shit he did. The dude had more than just brains and passion, while Bongbong seems to care mostly about his daddy’s reputation.
Their current president was Duterte’s vice president, so yeah we shouldn’t praise him.
Huh?

No, he wasn’t vice president.
