The Armed Forces of the Philippines is ready to comply with President Duterte’s decision to authorize the military to help the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the government’s campaign against illegal drugs.
Duterte is a perfect example of the warning expressed by Jose Rizal, the Father of the Philippines: "Today's slaves will be tomorrow's tyrants." The failure of the constitutional mechanism of the Philippines makes the nation a breeding ground for tyrants. To protect human rights, the Philippines must carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to introduce a modified semi-presidential system, with the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
