Catholic Church of Philippines to slam Duterte's drug war
Priests of the Philippines' Catholic Church will slam President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs in sermons across the country for creating a "reign of terror" among the poor.
As long as the constitution is not perfect, slaves will continue to become tyrants, and Duterte will prove to be no exception
Duterte is a prime example of the politician limned in Jose Rizal’s famous warning, "Today's slaves will be tomorrow's tyrants." The failure of the Philippines’ constitutional mechanism has created a breeding ground for tyrants. To protect human rights the Philippines need to carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to put in place a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, choosing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches through elections in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
