hilippine President Rodrigo Duterte appears to be behaving more like a tyrant than a law-abiding leader of a democratic country. First, he goes after the ABS-CBN network because, according to him, they failed to air his campaign advertisements during the 2016 election. If he has a valid complaint, he should sue them in court. Instead, Duterte is threatening to deny them a renewal of their broadcasting franchise. The fact that he is the president and he can order the Philippine FTC to do his bidding does not mean it is the right thing to do. Take ABS-CBN to court (preferably a tribunal outside the country where ABS-CBN can get a fair trial) and have courts decide. Duterte has a law degree, so he should know better.
