`Duterte does not respect rule of law’

As the elections draw nearer, the business community is on edge mainly because of the pronouncements of presidential frontrunner Rodrigo Duterte that he will abolish Congress and establish a revolutionary government, threats that business leaders fear will drive away investors.

Makati Business Club (MBC) Chairman Ramon del Rosario said Duterte’s plan of putting up a revolutionary government and killing criminals shows his lack of respect for the rule of law.
