What do you think of Rodrigo Duterte’s first 100 days as Philippine president?

Filipinos voted for their 16th president, Rodrigo Duterte, on 30 June. Approaching his first 100 days in office we’d like to know what you think of his administration so far.

Over the last three months, he has campaigned to kill those involved in the drug trade with Beijing expressing support in his effort. He has publicly encouraged civilians to take matters into their own hands causing outrage among some human rights groups and foreign governments.

Duterte has appeared controversial for some of the comments he has made since becoming president. Responding to questions on the criticism he has received from world leaders such as Obama, he said: “Masyado kayong bilib sa America, bumilib kayo dito sa atin.” [You believe too much in America, believe in us]. He said he will end joint US and Philippine military drills, and more recently appeared to compare himself to Hitler.

If you’re Filipino we’d like to hear your thoughts on how you think he has performed as president so far.

How do you feel about what he has said and done? If you originally voted against him have you changed your mind? What do you think of the global reaction to Duterte? Do you agree or disagree with it? What are your hopes for the future?

You can share your thoughts with us by filling in the form below, anonymously if you wish. We’ll include some of your responses in our reporting.
