Three Most Charismatic Leaders and their Contribution
David Packard
David Packard (September 7, 1912 March 26, 1996) was a co-founder,
with William Hewlett, of Hewlett-Packard (1939), serving as president (19471964), CEO
(19641968), and Chairman of the Board (19641968, 19721993). He served as U.S.
Deputy Secretary of Defense from 19691971 during the Nixon administration. Packard
served as President of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) from
1976 to 1981. He was also chairman of the Board of Regents from 1973 to 1982. Packard
was the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1988 and is noted for many
technological innovations and philanthropic endeavors.
While serving in the Department of Defense (DoD), he brought concepts of resource
management used in business to the military, as well as establishing the Defense Systems
Management College.
Near the end of his time at DoD, Packard wrote the "Packard Memo" or "Employment of
Military Resources in the Event of Civil Disturbances". Enacted in February 1972, the
Act describes exceptions to the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act, which limited the powers of the
federal government to use the U.S. military for law enforcement, except where expressly
authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress noting that the Constitution provides an
exception when needed "to prevent loss of life or wanton destruction of property and to
restore governmental functioning and public order when sudden and unexpected civil
disturbances, disasters, or calamities seriously endanger life and property and disrupt
normal governmental functions to such an extent that duly constituted local authorities are
unable to control the situations" and "to protect Federal property and Federal governmental
functions when the need for protection exists and duly constituted local authorities are
unable or decline to provide adequate protection". 214.5 states that "employment of DoD
military resources for assistance to civil authorities in controlling civil disturbances will
normally be predicated upon the issuance of a Presidential Executive order or Presidential
directive authorizing", with exceptions "limited to:
1. Cases of sudden and unexpected emergencies as described in 215.4(c)(1)(i), which
require that immediate military action be taken.
2. Providing military resources to civil authorities as prescribed in 215.9 of this part."[13]
According to Lindorff, these exceptions essentially reinstate the possibility of martial law in
the U.S., prohibited since 1878.
The Philippine Jaycees, the Philippine Lions, and the YMCA Philippines all gave her awards
for judicial excellence.
Rodrigo Duterte
Rodrigo Roa Duterte (born March 28, 1945), who also goes by the
nicknames Rody or Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician. Duterte is among the longestserving mayors in the Philippines. He has been mayor of Davao City, a highly-urbanized city
in Mindanao island, for 7 terms, totalling more than 22 years. He has also served as vicemayor and congressman in the city.
Duterte, who has been dubbed "The Punisher" by Time magazine, has been
criticized by human rights groups and by Amnesty International for tolerating extrajudicial
killings of alleged criminals allegedly by the Davao death squads. Duterte has been heavily
criticised by numerous organizations for condoning and even inciting murders to take place
during his leadership. In the April 2009 UN General Assembly of the Human Rights Council,
the UN report (Eleventh Session Agenda item 3, par 21) said, "The Mayor of Davao City has
done nothing to prevent these killings, and his public comments suggest that he is, in fact,
supportive." Human Rights Watch reported that in 2001-2002, Duterte appeared on local
television and radio and announced the names of "criminals", some of whom were later
executed. In July 2005 at a crime summit in the Manila Hotel, the politician said, "Summary
execution of criminals remains the most effective way to crush kidnapping and illegal drugs".
In 2009 Duterte said: "If you are doing an illegal activity in my city, if you are a
criminal or part of a syndicate that preys on the innocent people of the city, for as long as I
am the mayor, you are a legitimate target of assassination."
Duterte responding to the reported arrest and subsequent release of a notorious drug
lord in Manila is quoted as saying: "Here in Davao, you cant go out alive. You can go out,
but inside a coffin. Is that what you call extra-judicial killing? Then I will just bring a drug lord
to a judge and kill him there, that will no longer be extra-judicial."
Referring to the arrest of a suspected rice smuggler, Duterte spoke out in the state
senate saying, "If this guy would go to Davao and starts to unload (smuggled rice) I will
gladly kill him." For these comments, Duterte was attacked in an editorial in The Manila
Times, which condemned "the mentality of lawlessness and vigilantism." The newspaper
argued that this culture of impunity enabled those in power, including officials, "private
warlords and businessmen vigilantes" to take retribution against those they felt had acted
against their interests: "They kill journalists exposing corruption and human rights activists
exposing abusive police and military men." Following Duterte's comments in relation to killing
a person suspected of smuggling rice, the office of the President of the Philippines issued a
statement saying, Killing a person is against the law. The President has been firm in the
belief that no one is above the law. We must not resort to extralegal methods."
In 2015, Duterte confirmed his links to extrajudicial killings in Davao, and warned that
if elected president he may kill up to 100,000 criminals.
