Violence and Changing Drug War Rhetoric in the Philippines’ 2025 Midterm Elections
2025
Overview
At the 2025 midterm elections, Rodrigo Duterte, the former president, was elected mayor of Davao City despite having been arrested by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged crimes against humanity and sent to The Hague for trial just months earlier. His eldest son, Paolo, was re-elected to the House of Representatives, and his youngest son, Sebastian, became Davao City's vice mayor. During their campaigns, Duterte's children projected themselves as upholding their father's propensity for violence. Sebastian Duterte talked tough on drug users and criminals, declaring in Mar 2024, \"If you don't leave [Davao], I will kill you.\" Within a week of this threat, seven drug suspects were killed. (Between 12,000 and 30,000 people were killed in Duterte's drug war from July 2016 to Mar 2019.) CCTV video showing Paolo Duterte assaulting a businessman shortly before midterms had echoes of his sister, Vice President Sara Duterte, assaulting a court sheriff in front of cameras in 2011. Duterte's strategy of leveraging violence as a political tool continues to endure, with many pro-Duterte candidates mimicking his tough-on-crime, \"violent populist\" persona. But how has the political discourse on Duterte's drug war changed?
