The Philippines’ presidential election has received international media attention in large part because of the outspoken, occasionally outlandish remarks of its victor, Rodrigo Duterte. Major newspapers and television stations worldwide have been issuing the stories about him everyday, so it's not that difficult to understand factors which can explain his victory in the Philippines.

The article said, "Duterte served as mayor of Davao City for more than 22 years. Trained as a lawyer, he vowed to clean up a city so notorious for its crime it was once tagged the “Nicaragua of Asia.” Today, Davao’s per capita crime rate is the lowest in the country. (Omitted) Duterte appointed himself judge, jury and executioner—and the people of Davao loved him for it. In a March survey conducted in the city by Ateneo de Davao University, 88 percent of people polled said they would vote for Duterte as president." Why did people of Davao overwhelmingly support their former Mayor? Let's watch the video of the messages to Rodrigo Duterte from his people of Davao below and find the answers!

E&G teachers pride themselves in living in Davao and they think it is all thanks to the former mayor of Davao, Rodrigo Duterte to live in the safest city in the Philippines. They expect him to do the same for the whole Philippines as he's done for Davao.
