Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has suffered his first major drop in popularity. The decline in support shown by the Social Weather Stations survey – down to 67 per cent from 78 per cent in June from those who said they were “satisfied” with Duterte’s performance as president – came amid growing public outrage over drug war killings in the Philippines. In an interview with Al Jazeera, Philippines’ Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Cayetano defended Duterte’s deadly war on drugs, saying all those who were killed during police operations were criminal drug dealers, despite evidence to the contrary.
