Rodrigo Duterte's repeated provocative statements are straining relations with the U.S. And his disparaging remarks about the U.S. president aren't helping Obama's pivot to Asia.

President Rodrigo Duterte has earned many critics for his brutal war on drugs. But in Davao City, where he was mayor for more than 20 years, many say he transformed the city for the better.

More than 3,000 have been killed in the country's new war on drugs. More than 700,000 have surrendered to police, fearing for their lives. Police say those who surrender and stay clean will be safe.
