President Duterte has been named 2017 “Person of the Year” by an international non-profit organization not for flattering reasons but for his supposedly doing the most in the world in advancing organized criminal activity and corruption last year, citing in particular the bloody war on drugs. But Malacañang was quick to dispute the “citation” from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), a consortium of investigative centers, media and journalists operating in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Central America. The Palace said Duterte was working to stop crime and corruption in the country. Since the Filipino president took office in June 2016, thousands have perished in a spate of extrajudicial killings that have characterized his sweeping anti-drug crusade.
