As mayor of Davao city, Duterte is said to have killed a lot of people and is said to have made the city safer and more prosperous.

Davao has the 'second' largest total crime volume.

Davao ranks 4th in murder (average yearly murder rate - 10.56 per 100,000).

In Davao, from 2010 to 2015, there were a total of 1,032 recorded murders, the highest in all 15 cities.

In Davao, murder and homicide cases continue to increase.

In Davao, lots of 'suspects' have been killed by death squads.

"Most of the victims come from the city's slum communities, where half a million people live in grinding poverty.

"Many are teenagers, some as young as 14, whose only 'crime' was sniffing solvents - said to take away hunger pangs.

"Others are suspected drug pushers, pickpockets or thieves, with a record of snatching handbags and mobile phones.

"Justice is meted out by two men on a motorbike, one acting as look-out, the other as assassin.

"Lawyers believe the death squad is run by Davao police, in collusion with Duterte.


Murdered street child.

"Bernie Mondragon, the co-ordinator of the Kabataan consortium of children's advocacy groups, agrees.

"These are summary executions," he says. "They are state-sponsored killings. Otherwise, the death squad could not operate with such impunity."

...

"Duterte talks tough and packs a .38 pistol.

"He rides a Harley-Davidson and runs the city like a Mafia boss.

"Children have been dragged to City Hall for a beating.

"The local television station has footage of him kicking the body of one of the death squad's victims - to check he was dead, he explained afterwards."

I may be mistaken, but I was wondering about Duterte, whether he killed criminals, or just rival criminal gangs to his own, which perhaps now runs Davao.
