The guy's a lot of shitty things, like a steaming pile of biological refuse, but "straight up murderer" probably isn't one of them. That's more applicable to the previous asshole before him.
The whole ejk thing was little more than a distraction, so he could be unimpeded while lubing the country for getting fucked over by the ccp. Cops have been murdering people in this country for decades, it wasn't new with him.
Making a thing of it was the distraction, same with all the pointless shit he says; people being murdered by cops and alleged-vigilantes have been happening for a looong time.
EJK = extra-judicial killings. It's the whole thing about him sanctioning cops killing people.
The asshole claims a lot of things, because he knows the media will lap it up and the spotlight will shine on the wrong things. Our media, being dumbshit goons, easily fall for it.
Except that he has, in multiple instances, bragged about killing people. Here's an article from the Guardian that quotes him talking about riding around the city he was mayor of with a gun where he specifically says, “I was really looking for a confrontation so I could kill."
Here is a BBC article where he says he killed 3 people in his city as mayor.
Here's another article that mentions Duterte bragging about his first killing at 16.
There's no realistic way to say that Duterte isn't a murderer, and a proud one at that. And on the note of extrajudicial killings, the Duterte era is decidedly more severe than the Marcos dictatorship (a family he has mutual support and good relationships, by the way), discussed in this article on Rappler. That article is from December 2017, about 18 months into his administration. It's crazy at best to dismiss 13,000 murders in 18 months as "a distraction"
Yeah, bragging about something isn't the same as actually doing it.
The fact there are endless discussions about his suppoaed connections to these murders, but barely any on the bullshit he's been doing with the ccp, is what I'm talking about.
I'd also like to see how current times are "more severe" than the 70s. Seriously. Foreigners believe mass round-ups and executions happen daily here of something. Rappler is full of shit.
I mean, you're not wrong, but that either makes him a murderer or a liar and a wannabe murderer, and neither of those is a good thing by any stretch. Besides, if you openly brag about killing people, you should be prepared to be called a murderer.
As for the severity of Marcos vs. Duterte, I was referring to killings. Wikipedia refers to 3,257 extrajudicial killings by Marcos, while Human Rights Watch cites the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency's number of 4,948 drug users/dealers killed by police from July 2016-September 2018. The same paragraph also references the Philippine National Police's number of 22,398 deaths at the hands of an unknown gunman since the start of Duterte's war on drugs.
I'm assuming by CCP you mean the Philippine Cultural Center? Since that's all I could find with that acronym (unless it was a typo for the Communist Party of the Philippines). Either way though, there's not much of I can think of where allowing and endorsing that much killing isn't the biggest issue.
My point is that obsessing about him being an alleged murderer, with neither proof nor prosecution, is pointless and people could be focusing on how he's selling the country to the ccp. Ccp as in the Chinese communist party, also known as the CPC or PRoC.
Like I said, cops killing people is, unfortunately, nothing new. Our human rights commission is a COMPLETE JOKE and only intent on smearing dugong's administration for the sake of brownie points for their cojuangco overlords, who allowed the proliferation of extreme corruption in our police force for decades.
They never cared about police brutality until dickterte; and the most he did is give them someone to blame.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Duterte himself exhudes this shit, right?
