Manila, May 9 (RHC)-- In the Philippines, the polls have closed in the nation’s presidential election. The leading candidate is Rodrigo Duterte, whose controversial rhetoric has drawn comparisons to Donald Trump.
Duterte is mayor of Davao City, where he has been accused of running death squads; he has periodically admitted his role in the death squads, even bragging about how they killed 1,700 people.
He recently joked that, as mayor, he should have been first in line to rape an Australian missionary who was gang-raped and then murdered in his city in 1989.
