國家領袖

羅德里戈.杜特蒂

Rodrigo Duterte

唸給你聽

基本資料

職稱/菲律賓總統
年齡/77歲

出生政治世家,父親曾是民答那峨島上的南納卯行省省長。年輕時非常逞兇鬥狠,曾經對媒體承認自己16 歲就殺過人,進入大學後還曾對同學開槍,因為同學笑他是鄉巴佬。1988 年當選納卯市(Davao) 市長,以鐵腕施政聞名,甚至涉嫌買凶殺死數百名罪犯。2016 年當選菲律賓總統,對毒梟發起激烈的掃毒戰,超過5,800名涉毒嫌犯身亡,但有很大比例是「法外處決」( 只要拒捕,警察就可以直接對你開槍)。2021 年菲律賓疫情嚴重時,更是下令只要有人違反防疫措施,警察和軍隊就可直接射殺。

杜特蒂為人隨性,言論充滿爭議,也因此被稱作菲律賓川普。外交政策上一改過往菲律賓親美的形象,時而言詞攻擊美國總統( 尤其是歐巴馬),時而向中國和俄羅斯釋出善意。但整體來看,杜特蒂並不完全押寶某一邊,這跟他的隨性的風格倒是非常符合。

Title: President of the Philippines

Age: 77 years old

Duterte was born in a political family. His father was the Governor of Nanna Maohang Province of Mindanao Island. When he was young, he was very belligerent. He once admitted to the media that he had killed someone at the age of 16, and even shot his classmate in college because he taunted Duterte as a hillbilly. 

Elected as mayor of Davao in 1988, he is known for his iron-fist governance, and is even suspected of murdering hundreds of criminals through contract killing. In 2016, he was elected President of the Philippines and launched a violent war on drugs against drug lords. More than 5,800 drug suspects were killed, but a great number of them lost their lives because of “extrajudicial executions.” (Police forces can directly shoot the suspect should there be any form of resistance.) When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its height, he even ordered the police force and the army to directly shoot and kill those who violated pandemic control measures. 

Duterte always does whatever he likes and often makes controversial statements. Therefore, he was referred to as the Donald Trump of the Philippines. In terms of foreign policy, he averts the past pro-American approach, and sometimes criticizes US presidents (especially Barack Obama) while passing on friendly messages to China and Russia from time to time. However, overall speaking, Duterte does not bet on one side only, which quite fits his I-do-what-I-want style.
