FILIPINO ADOLF HITLER?

     He must have used "Hitler" as hyperbole, or in a sarcastic manner, in describing how he would deal with his country's 3.3 million drug pushers and drug addicts--slaughter them as what Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Nazi Germany did to the 5.5 millions Jews who perished in the Holocaust.He touched a raw nerve and now he is reaping bitter reactions, nay censure, from not only Israel but from the US, the United Nations and Germany.

     He has since apologized to the Jews, not only in the Philippines, but all over the world.

     Nevertheless, somebody should tell President Duterte to moderate his language, especially in the presence of international media who sometimes distort his message in translation. His foul mouth is creating enemies not only for himself but for his country, the Philippines with more than 100 million population, most of whom are poor and living below the poverty line.
