Filipinos were proud of President Duterte for all he has done for the country since he took office. But Duterte is currently facing numerous issues and controversies including his war on drugs campaign amid Extrajudicial Killings (EJK). The president earned the respect of international leaders due to his humbleness and ability to build a good relationship with other people.
