Answers
Answer:
Duterte is the first president from Mindanao[1] and the oldest person to be elected president of the Philippines.[1] He is also the first Philippine president to have worked in the three branches of the government.[1] Duterte was the mayor of Davao City at the time of his 2016 presidential election victory, garnering over 16 million votes or about 39% of total votes, beating his closest rival by over 6.6 million votes.[2] Duterte's approval rating has been relatively high throughout his presidency despite criticism and international opposition to his anti-narcotics drive.[3][4]
Duterte started a nationwide campaign to rid the country of crime, and corruption, and illegal drugs. The war on drugs saw about 6,600 persons linked to the illegal drug trade killed as of July 2019.[5] Duterte campaigned to restore the death penalty in the Philippines.[6] However, the law reinstating the death penalty stalled in the Senate in April 2017, where it did not appear to have enough votes to pass.[7]
