Since the election of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte as the next Philippine president in a landslide victory on 9 May 2016, the regional and international media have highlighted his outrageous remarks on various sensitive topics. For instance, he backed the extra-judicial killings of drug dealers, alleged that journalists were killed because they were corrupt and called Philippine bishops critical of him ‘sons of whores’. None of these remarks have dented his domestic support. But they have attracted international attention and provided a negative one-dimensional view of the new leader.
