3/ đŸ§µRodrigo Duterte was then the mayor of Davao City. We had the most responsive Philippine National Police, and we had 911 emergency service!
When he ran for president, people from Luzon mocked him for being just a Mindanaon. The more insults they threw, the more Filipinos tossed him up. He got overwhelming votes from the people that no powerful individual, group, or family could manipulate. He won----the first Philippine president from Mindanao!
Believe it or not, for the first time in our lives, Filipinos felt safe!
