ON PRESIDENT DUTERTE'S FIRST 100 DAYS

PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE STARTED STRONG: HE PROVIDES UNCONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS AND MANAGES TO GET TO OUR PEOPLE WITH HIS MANNER OF SPEAKING.

He has shown tremendous political will and is even willing to make unpopular decisions as long as it will be beneficial in the end.

But after 100 days, President Duterte still has to realize that he is no longer a local chief executive. WE HOPE TO SEE HIM QUICKLY ADAPT INTO THE PRESIDENCY, BECAUSE HIS CONDUCT REPRESENTS THE NATION, AND HIS WORDS CAN SHAPE NATIONAL POLICIES.

I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES, THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO HELP PRESIDENT DUTERTE ADAPT QUICKLY INTO THE JOB. AFTER ALL, HIS SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS.

I congratulate the president and want nothing but success for him and our people.
