E. Lesson Proper

Your answers are correct, class. We

will discuss them later because our
lesson for today is all about the
Presidency of Rodrigo Duterte
(2016-2022).

But first, do you know who Rodrigo

Duterte is?
Okay, very good!

Rodrigo Roa Duterte is the 16th

president of the Republic of the Students: Digong, Teacher!
Philippines. He served the
Philippines for 6 years. Class, I
have a question. Do you know
where he lives and where he served
as mayor for over 22 years?

Very good!

He was known for his strict

management as the alcalde of Students: Davao, Teacher!
Davao City. In 2015, the call for
him to run for the presidency
intensified. Some people think that
the Philippines needs a president
with strong political will to address
the country's problems. Despite
entering the election late, Rodrigo
Duterte won the election on May 9,
2016. He defeated Vice President
Jejomar Binay, Senator Grace Poe,
Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago,
and Secretary Mar Roxas in the
election. The people were
mesmerized by his style and
promised to end the drug problem in
the country within 3-6 months.

Here are some of Rodrigo

Duterte’s Programs and Projects:

Can you please read the first

paragraph, Student 10?

Okay, thank you!

1. Oplan Tokhang (Student 10 will read the first paragraph

The Duterte administration about ‘Oplan Tokhang’.)
immediately launched the anti-drug
program led by the PNP. They
called it "Oplan Tokhang" from the
words tok or "knock" and hangyo or
"pleading".)

Based on some of President

Duterte's statements, he made a
mistake in estimating that he could
end the drug problem in just 3-6
months.

For the second program, can you

read the first paragraph, Student 11?

2. Dutertenomics
This is the economic program of
President Duterte. It consists of
several policies that aim to develop (Student 11 will read the first paragraph
the economy of the country. One of about ‘Dutertenomics’.)
them is the reform of the taxation
system.

In this law, the personal income tax

was reduced so that the income that
the citizen can bring home is
greater. Consumption taxes on
petroleum products, tobacco and
cigarettes, and sweetened beverages
were increased.

Next, can you read the first

paragraph, Student 12?

3. Build, Build, Build Program

This refers to the launch of many
infrastructure projects that are an
important part of the country's (Student 12 will read the first paragraph
economic development. This will about ‘Build, Build, Build Program’.)
allow the so-called 'Golden Age of
Infrastructure' of the country.

Some of the projects included in

this are:
a) North-South Railway connecting
Los Banos, Laguna to Tutuban,
Manila and Clark Freeport,
Pampanga;
b) Subic-Clark Railway;
c) Industrial Park in Clark,
Pampanga;
d) expanded Clark International
Airport;
e) four energy facilities; and
f) five flood control facilities.

A large part of the funding used in

the infrastructure programs is from
the loans taken by the Philippines in
China. In 2019, China loaned the
country an estimated $273.3 million
for the construction of a dam and
irrigation project.

Back then, the relationship between

China and the Philippines
strengthened under the leadership of
President Arroyo. But this changed
after the Philippines, under the
Aquino administration, sued China
in the UN Arbitral Tribunal,
questioning its claim to a large part
of the West Philippine Sea even
though it is within the country's
territory.

Now, the Duterte government is

proud of the re-improvement of the
relationship between the Philippines
and China. This allowed China to
provide the aid and loans that the
Philippines needed to fund its
projects.

President Duterte's economic

policies have resulted in a positive
impact on the country's economy.
From 5.5% of the country's GDP in
2016, it increased to 6.2% in 2018.
Because of this, the Philippines is
considered one of the fastest
growing economies in Asia.

Class, what are the three programs

that I have mentioned?

Very good! Now, let’s talk about Students: Oplan Tokhang,

the Challenges for the Duterte Dutertenomics, and Build, Build, Build
Administration. Program
Despite these successes, many are
also criticizing President Duterte.
One criticism here is the slow
growth of jobs in the last three
years.

The first three years of President

Duterte's rule still had controversy.
First is the alleged human rights
violation of the president's war on
drugs. The news of abusive police
officers who are destroying the
image of the police force has also
become a buzz. The Duterte
administration has also been
accused of violating human rights
by critics of the government. An
example here is the incarceration of
Senator Leila de Lima, who is the
main critic of the president for
reasons related to the drug operation
in the New Bilibid Prison while
serving as secretary of the
Department of Justice during
PNoy's administration.

One of the biggest problems faced

by the government is the attack by
the Maute terrorist group. The most
serious challenge faced by President
Duterte's administration is the
pandemic caused by COVID-19
(coronavirus disease, 2019). Who
knows what COVID-19 is?

Yes, Student 13?

(Student 13 will raise his/her hand.)

Very good! It is an infectious Student 13: Teacher, it is a deadly disease

disease caused by a new strain of because I have seen on TV that there are
coronavirus called severe acute a lot of cases where people died because
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 of it.
or SARS-CoV-2.

Who knows what are the symptoms

of COVID-19?

Yes, Student 14?

 Correct! According to the (Student 14 will raise his/her hand.)
Department of Health (DOH),
COVID-19 spreads Student 14: Coughing and high fever,
through coughing, sneezing, talking, Teacher.
singing, and even through regular
breathing. Those who are closer
than 6 feet from the infected person
will probably get the virus if these
viral particles land directly on the
eyes, nose, or mouth.

By the 16th of March, the entire

Luzon was placed under enhanced
community quarantine (ECQ). In
the areas placed under ECQ, all
work was suspended (except those
related to disease control), public
transportation was suspended,
curfew was enforced, gatherings
were prohibited, social distancing
protocols were enforced (one meter
distance from people to each other)
and restricted the movement of
people. This aims to reduce the
number of people who get sick with
COVID-19.

After the crisis faced by past

administrations, the call of the
people for effective governance has
grown stronger. The people want to
have a government that is honest
and will effectively respond to its
duties and the needs of the people.
President Duterte's leadership is
anchored on the promise of having
the political will for an immediate
and decisive response to the needs
of the Filipino people.
