===Education and early political career===
Duterte studied political science at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, graduating in 1968, before obtaining a law degree from San Beda College of Law in 1972. He then worked as a lawyer and was a prosecutor for Davao City, before becoming vice mayor and, subsequently, mayor of the city in the wake of the Philippine Revolution of 1986. Duterte was among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines, serving seven terms for a span of more than 22 years in office.

Frequently described as a populist and a nationalist, Duterte's political success has been aided by his vocal support for the extrajudicial killing of drug users and other criminals. Human rights groups have documented over 1,400 killings allegedly by death squads operating in Davao between 1998 and May 2016; the victims were mainly drug users, petty criminals and street children. A 2009 report by the Philippine Commission on Human Rights confirmed the "systematic practice of extrajudicial killings" by the [[Davao Death Squad]].

Succeeding [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino_III Beningno Aquino III] during the 2016 presidential election, Duterte's political campaign openly promised a war on drugs, that is to rally and order the murder of drug dealers and users in the country. This promise of a drug-free reign after 3 to 6 months in office, coupled with Duterte's humble beginnings appealed to the poverty-stricken masses of the Philippines. His speeches became notorious for using profanities and vulgarities directed towards political opponents and other world leaders who did not share his ideals. Duterte soon earned a "Dirty Harry" reputation, after making sexist remarks, such as bragging about raping women and attacking women's genitals. Most notably, he called for the genitals of protesters to be mutilated.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/13/philippines-rodrigo-duterte-orders-soldiers-to-shoot-female-rebels-in-the-vagina</ref>

Duterte was also noted for frequently praising dictators Adolf Hitler and [[Ferdinand Marcos]], culminating in the controversial burial of Marcos at the ''Libingan ng mga Bayani'' (Heroes' Cemetery) reserved for soldiers, patriots and national heroes and declaring a non-working holiday in Ilocos Norte on September 11 which is called by critics as Araw ng Magnanakaw (Thief Day).

Duterte also notably released corrupt officials that were previously jailed by Noynoy Aquino, such as former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, senators Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada, and former senate president Juan Ponce Enrile, as well as keeping Imelda Marcos out of jail despite being convicted.
 
===Drug war in the Philippines===
According to the Philippine National Police, the death toll of Duterte's drug war surpassed 7,000 by January 2017, after which the police stopped publishing data. Multiple media sources have cited that the casualties included convicted drug pushers, suspects and underage children. The first official casualty of Duterte's drug war was found three hours after his inauguration, several blocks away from the Malacañang Palace. During the first months of Duterte's reign,

The police consistently claimed those who were killed either resisted arrest or endangered the police with guns, even though several surveillance footages and circumstantial witnesses have tried to disprove this narrative.<ref>https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/21/18/palace-no-justice-for-slain-nanlaban-drug-suspects</ref> Following criticism from United Nations human rights experts that extrajudicial killings had increased since his election, Duterte threatened to withdraw the Philippines from the UN and form a new organization with China and African nations. He has declared his intention to pursue an "independent foreign policy", and sought to distance the Philippines from the United States and European nations and pursue closer ties with China and Russia.

===Martial Law in Mindanao===
The [[Maute group]], an [[ISIS]]-inspired terrorist group, had reportedly been able to establish a stronghold in Lanao del Sur since early 2016. The group had been blamed for the 2016 Davao City bombing and two attacks in Butig, Lanao del Sur, a town located south of Marawi, in 2016. Before the Duterte administration, the Philippine government had downplayed the threat of ISIS in the Philippines. Even after the February 2016 Butig clash with the Maute group, then-President Benigno Aquino III discounted the possibility of the Islamic State's presence in the country. He said that those behind the attack were just mercenaries wanting to be recognized by the Middle East-based terror group.

Sometime in December 2019, Duterte banned entry of two USA senators, meaning he and the government with help of his supporters, would implement brutal visa restrictions to all foreigners to enter PH and to ban all Filipinos from entering all another countries without government, state and military approval lest they be branded as defectors like it happened to North Korea and to make Philippines a self-reliant country too, not just sovereign.

He later declared an Enhanced Community Quarantine across all of Luzon two days later, that took effect on March 17, 2020. His pandemic response was criticized often for using retired generals instead of medical experts, and being the only country to mandate the full time wearing of full-sized face shields on top of face masks, which lasted from December 15, 2020 to November 2021. During his presidency, Metro Manila was under enhanced community quarantine three times, first from March to May 2020, and then again in March 2021, due to the Alpha and Beta variants of COVID-19, and in August due to the Delta variant.
