But what is less clear is what he will do with the job. His blunt promise to sweep away criminals and corrupt officials won him the backing of millions of Filipinos weary of ineffective governments.
But he has so far offered few policy details. A spokesman has already pledged a radical overhaul of the political system. Human rights groups have warned he may repeat what happened in the southern city of Davao, where as mayor he is accused of allowing death squads to murder hundreds of alleged criminals.
Certainly is a way to change the crime stats.

Fun fact: Due to his political style, he's known as the "Donald Trump of the Philippines".
Not a joke

Trump sends out hit squads to kill people arbitrarily?
I don't think that's a good analogy.

It's not. This guy makes Trum look downright progressive in comparison.

I didn't make it up, that's what the press has been calling him. Due to his appeals to the uneducated and his deliberately offensive diatribes.
