Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Tuesday he would recall some police to fight his controversial war on drugs, nearly a month after suspending the entire force from all operations in the bloody narcotics crackdown.
Rodrigo Duterte fits perfectly the famous warning of the father of the Philippines, Jose Rizal: "Today's slaves will be tomorrow's tyrants". The failure of the Philippine constitutional mechanism has made the country a breeding ground for tyrants. In order to protect human rights, the Philippines needs to carry out full constitutional reform to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, together with direct election of the heads of the four main branches of government in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
