We do mettle in too many countries affairs. The Philippines is no exception. Duterte is an interesting character. With all the failures of globalism it left a vacuum for nationalists such as Duterte. That can be a good or bad thing time will tell.

They said no bailouts and saving their failing banks and they are doing pretty well now.

I don't know ,Trump has invited Duterte to The White House once
he is president. Maybe they will work something out between two
minds that think alike and admire each others direct approaches?
Isn't that what they told each other , they think and act alike?

Duterte is also killing addicts on sight: no arrests, no trial. People are allowed to kill addicts as well. They're not charged with murder.

One heck of a way to deal with addiction.

Duterte scares me but it is their country and Obama should not have meddled in my opinion. Things will be fine when Trump becomes President.

How is it any different than how Castro ruled? Yet he is to be idolized and this leader despised?

I completely agree with you though if that's what is really going on. Due process is a basic human right.

Basic human right? Says who?

We need to stop judging other countries and cultures using our own moral values and philosophy and forcing these values onto them.

So, it's ok to call for baseless executions as long as it isn't on our dime? What a great way to think.
