Rodrigo Duterte is not a "Revolutionary",
Let alone an Orderist.
Rodrigo Duterte is a traditional politician accustomed to the political culture of a third world country. That is further complicated by his brand of populism focused on law and order, and even to his self-proclaimed "socialism" that's meant to appease the masses especially those who are "sick" and "tired" of the elite-led establishment.
However, it is not unsual for mainstream political figures like Duterte to praise the social and economic achievements such as those of a Socialist state. Other than his statement claiming himself as a "left winger" during a Commencement Exercise, his praise for Cuba for its healthcare system during his first cabinet meeting would say was one example of admiring its achievements from a country troubled by a foreign-imposed embargo and all, but again Duterte is not a revolutionary, let alone an orderist.
Moreover, the Philippines under Duterte's rule is more like a continuity of past administrations. Like his predecessors, he swore to upheld the order, but he has to make piecemeal reforms to appease the masses. And to think that his fanatics looked at him as a revolutionary figure as what ex-activist Nilo Tayag thinking of, they take their idol's anti-oligarch statements, or even the idea of a "revolutionary government" so seriously that they really asserted it in their demonstrations in front of Liwasang Bonifacio or at Mendiola.
But to think that the administration is more like a continuity of his predecessors, his statements denouncing the "oligarchs" is but empty phrases for on the first place he swore to upheld the order that's enjoyed by the oligarchs themselves- and that's far, way too far from being a "revolutionary."
Whatever the case may be, Duterte may acknowledge the changes brought by various countries be it Japan, China, Cuba. He may admire men like Putin, Xi, Castro, especially the latter with his healthcare programs or his defiance against US Imperialists. But the mere acknowledgement of their actions doesn't mean he can do it- for if he does he should be more than just a "presider". He may wish for his country to have a renaissance, but to see his own as a vassal of overlords like the United States and China, of finance hubs like the Shanghai Bund and of Wall Street, does it really make a change?
And in speaking of "change", did he denounce entirely the structure that benefits the oligarchs and the corrupt? Well, since he really took positively about extrajudicial acts as a deterrent to crime then why not take an extrajudicial act against the order? It is not simply not enough to praise a program that's brought out of being against the establishment altogether. Least Cuba's Castro did it.
Also to think that the concerned people are seeing the reality behind Duterte's change, they find themselves being mocked as their dreams and hopes rather reduced to half baked realisation nor an empty rhetoric. For sure one would remember the "Jetski" promise that failed to realise or his "to end contractualisation" speech that end being shelved thinking "big businesses" will turn against him. His apologists would time and again trying to appease folks only to realise that the folks themselves ridicule their idol because of his statements or his unstatesman-like actions taken. Worse, just because of of being concerned for their communities gone imprisoned with false causes, or killed and "planted evidences" simply because of their belief in being a person for others.
Anyway, no matter these apologists justify in their social media posts or their "mini rallies" in Mendiola and Liwasang Bonifacio, the statements brought by Duterte would say that it failed to ring a bell and instead dismissed as empty rhetoric or half-baked action trying to appease a folk that's really desiring for a real kind of social and economic change. And although worth praising the infrastructure programs that obviously didn't came from his, then shouldn't also be treated as a feat of an individual but a duty of the state to do public works and in ensuring welfare of the folk.
But again, these programs, "reforms", and rhetorics doesn't make him a revolutionary. He swore to upheld an order that benefits the banks with its moneylenders especially from Shanghai Bund and Wall Street, the conglomerates with trader-executives, the plantations and the politigoons, that again, makes him an orderist than what Tayag and his crew thinks of him.
