Philippines Slowly Becoming Like Singapore - Cayetano

Senator alan Peter Cayetano delivered his privilege speech on Monday in the Senate and said that the Philippines is slowly becoming like Singapore relating to safety.

Many supporters of President Duterte feels that because of Duterte's efforts in fighting against drug, crime and corruption, the Philippines is now a safer place for citizens.

“It’s not perfect. In fact the president very candidly said he needs another six months pero let us be honest to ourselves, it is happening. The Philippines is becoming more like Singapore in terms of being able to walk the streets at anytime at night,” Cayetano said in a privilege speech.

“What do we want? Bumalik tayo six years past o ipagpatuloy natin ang pagbabago? Do we go back or do we go forward? More of the same or change? Gusto ba natin na takot ang tao at ang criminal hindi takot?”

Senator Cayetano admitted that there's more needs to be done under Duterte administration but he asserted that in just two months, many gains have been attained.

“Dalawang buwan pa lang mahigit, may pakiramdam na ng kaligtasan. I’m not saying that people now feel safe, I’m saying they feel safer,” he said.
