I’m not pro-Duterte and anti-Marcos but to be objective, I strongly agree Duterte did a better job. Considering the Covid-19 pandemic occurred under the Duterte administration, he still did a great job. @@kirksolina1033

Minus the Pandemic and the Terrorist who destroyed Marawi, the progress will be much more felt. The BBM Government ruin the consintency of Economy, Peace and Order and the TRUST of Fililipino people on government, in which we earn on PRRD administration. BBM administration is the worst ever happen since World War 2 and Marcos Sr. dictatorship rule.

Malasakit program from Duterte is a big help us as poor sector in society. Nowadays still a big help the malasakit program . Only Duterte working as very Good leader for the Filipino people.

Some people don’t appreciate what Duterte did, even though his actions improved their daily lives. Despite his harsh language, I believe he did a great job for Filipinos, especially in ways that may seem insignificant to those who are well-off. For instance, simplifying the process of obtaining passports, driver’s licenses, and government documents was a huge help, particularly for the poor. I was shocked when I got my NBI clearance in under 30 minutes, without any shady dealings. Previously, the process took three weeks—unless you paid a fixer to expedite it. Duterte also managed both the COVID-19 crisis and insurgency during his term—something no other president had done. Lastly, safety and security improved significantly. You could walk at night without fear of being robbed or harmed, and it was one of the few times you could safely use your phone while on public transport.

I'm not dds to begin with, in fact I did not vote for FPPRD but Miriam, then I became a convert because I saw what an effective leader he was. With BBM it was the other way around, I voted for BBM with high hope, I thought that he will do a better job as a president because he had to redeem the Marcos name from detractors. But what a big disappointment, sad but I regretted

voting for him.

1st 2 yrs under Duterte, debt grows by 1.2 T, vs Marcos 2.6 T.  It was only during pandemic that debt grew by 

.6 T.  Duterte has clear vision & economic policy anchored by massive infrastructure development under

"build build build".  He also complete the Skyway stage 3, MRT 3 & LRT 2 upgrades, kick started the stalled

NS rail project, LRT 1 extension.  Duterte also did massive upgrade of Phil Army, Navy, Airforce, & PCG,

and started several low cost housing w/c BBM inaugurated after a few months in office. 

BBM says a lot but done practically zero, letting his cousin commandeer the budget for their self-serving P.I.

and ayudas.  Major infrastructures such as MRT7, Subway, Mindanao rail stalled due to lack of govt funding,

yet 400 billions was spent on sham "5,500  flood control projects".  Even Philhealth is being ransacked

Passport,driver license napakalaking tulong yan sa amin.
