Shoot now, ask questions later


Drug killings in Philippines.

MANILA: The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte seems to be taking on a “shoot now, ask later” policy not only in dealing with criminals, but also in its plan to shift the form of government to federalism.

President Rodrigo Duterte’s State of the Nation Address, all 90 minutes of it, may be classified into 38 minutes of prepared speech and 52 minutes of straight-from-the-heart talk. He should change his speech writers because they failed to make his speech sound like it came from him.
