TAIWANESE animators have depicted President Rodrigo Duterte not as a hero as his supporters perceive him to be, but as a murderer clown that pleases superpowers like China and Russia.
In a viral video, Duterte, as a clown, was seen leading the killings of drug suspects on the streets, alluding to his administration’s bloody war on drugs.
“Duterte comes from humble beginnings as a mayor who ordered liquidation squads to kill criminals and opponents in gangland-style assaults that left about 1,000 dead,” a translation of the narration read.
“After finagling his way into the presidency, he’s taken his executions nationwide with his antidrug campaign, which has left more than 3,000 suspected drug users and dealers dead since taking over in June,” it added.
The video also poked fun on Duterte’s cursing of Pope Francis and his profanity-laced remarks against its longtime ally, the United States, and the United Nations for raising the issue of extrajudicial killings and human rights abuses amid the government’s antidrug campaign.
