Filipino protesters attempt to march towards Philippine Congress to call for an end to Duterte's presidency on July 26, 2021 in Manila, Philippines. President Duterte holds his final State of the Nation Address today as his term is due to end in 2022 with presidential and vice presidential elections scheduled to take place in May. While contemplating on running for the Vice Presidency, Duterte's six-year term as the country's leader was filled with extrajudicial killings, human rights abuses, massive corruption, and extreme poverty among Filipinos. The country's foreign debt is now at an all time high of USD180 billion. (Photo by Ezra Acayan/Getty Images)
