The Legacy of President Duterte in the Philippines

Dominic zeegler is our senior asia correspondent, and writes banyan our column about asian affairs. President jutette is doing surprisingly well in the poles, with an over 70 % popularity rating. So how how has he fallen short of what he promised? He said that he would devolve powers away from the top heavy capital in manila, down to the regions. That's come to nothing. The pandemic has been handled badly by his administration - fewer than half filipinos are now doubly vaxed. His notorious war on drugs has failed. Nevertheless, i think the herd is moving on now.
