Remember when Davao Nikkei Jin Anime Club in cooperation with Bisayaball Community created an animated short that showed President Rodrigo Duterte as an anime superstar? They depicted him as a champion of the people.
Now, we stumbled upon another animated short but this time the president is depicted differently. Taiwanese Animators posted on their YouTube page the following video.
The post said:
President Rodrigo Duterte is putting the country in a rather precarious situation.
An ex-militiaman testified in front of the Senate last Thursday that President Duterte, when he was still a city mayor, ordered him and other members of an extermination squad to kill criminals and opponents in gangland-style assaults that left about 1,000 dead, according to the Associated Press.
Since becoming president in June, Duterte’s anti-drug campaign has left more than 3,000 suspected drug users and dealers dead.
Last week, Duterte also said he would no longer allow joint patrols of disputed waters near the South China Sea with other countries, according to the Philstar.
He also said he was considering buying defense weapons from Russia and China, the Philstar reported.
What will come out of Duterte’s mouth next? Will he follow through on those promises?
It got mixed reactions from the viewers.
One commented that the video was “completely unfunny” and “massively biased.” Another asked help to flag the video to get it removed.
Meanwhile, one said that “the truth hurts” and that this is “so accurate.”
However, what caught us is this viewer who commented, “What program do they use to animate? Looks sick.” Yeah, this guy… asking the important question.
