Manila, Philippines - Former President Fidel V. Ramos said the country was 'losing badly' in Duterte's first 100 days.
This was his opinion in Manila Bulletin on Saturday, October 8 saying "in the overall assessment by this writer, we find out Team Philippines losing in the first 100 days of Du30's administration and losing badly.This is a huge disappointment and let-down to many of us."
“Of course, we are talking only of the first 100 days. We do not indicate here a wish-list of our highest aspirations to be achieved in the six years of the President’s term—but only what could have been do-able by P.Digong, if he had hit the ground running instead of being stuck in unending controversies about extra-judicial killings of drug suspects and in his ability at using cuss-words and insults instead of civilized language,” Ramos added.
Ramos enumerated goals such as poverty alleviation and enhancement of national security, which he said Duterte could have addressed better if he weren't "stuck in unending controversies about extrajudicial killings of drug suspects and in his ability at using cuss-words and insults instead of civilized language."

Ramos said the government's mixed statements on Philippine-U.S. relations were "discombobulating" including Duterte's verbal attack on U.S. President Barack Obama early in September at the same time his defense minister and finance ministers were on visits to the United States.
Duterte a week ago said Obama should "go to hell" and that in his time, he might "break up" with traditional ally Washington.
On Friday, he reiterated ongoing U.S.-Philippines military exercises would be "the last" and challenged Washington to use the Central Intelligence Agency to oust him.
