Former President Fidel Ramos Disappointed By Duterte Administration: 'Team Philippines Is Losing Badly'

With Duterte's 100 days in office as the 16th President of the Philippines, Filipinos still have mixed feelings about the new administration. Some lauded the President for focusing on matters which haven't been prioritized during the previous administrations. Many also praised him for the ongoing war on drugs which has yielded more than 700,000 drug users to surrender. But, some notable personalities including politicians can't help but air their sentiments regarding their disappointments.

For one, former President Fidel V. Ramos, described the administration as a 'let-down'. In a column published by Manila Bulletin last Saturday, FVR stated: "In the overall assessment by this writer, we find our 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," His assessment, according to him, "is based simply on two concepts of primordial importance – LEADERSHIP and TEAMWORK – because that is where the obvious failures have emerged at this point in time."
