Davao City Mayor set to win Presidential Race

Davao City Mayor set to win Presidential Race

The First President from Mindanao is all but set. Dwindling down the last 10% is merely a formality now, as Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte would need to score 0 (plus lose some) and former DILG Sec.

Magbabanat ka ng buto sa pagsasaka, babaratin ka ng trader at ikaw pa ang lugi may utang ka pa, gagagwin mo ng tama ang iyong trabaho pero ang sipsip o kamag-anak ni bosing sila ang maganda ang schedule sila ang mataas ang sweldo. Pipila ka sisingitan ka naman, magbabayad ka ng kuryente kakabitan ng jumper ang linya mo. Itong sistemang ito ang nasimulan nating baguhin sa Daang Matuwid.

Iniimbita ko po kayo, ibalik natin ang Pilipinas sa mga desenteng tao.

Mar Roxas during the first PiliPinas Debates 2016

"Simulan natin sa DOTC. Noong ako po ay nasa DOTC, mahigit isang daang (100) kontrata sa halagang mahigit-kumulang isang daang bilyon (₱100,000,000,000) ang napa-bid namin na walang anomalya, walang alingaw-ngaw, walang kontrobersiya. Yan, nangyari lahat yan. Ports, airports, ibang mga imprastraktura na nangyayari at ginawa hanggang sa ngayon."

Roxas suggested there was evidence to support his claims on his capability of becoming President without actually providing any evidence to support it.
