Introduction

Rodrigo Rody Roa Duterte, also known Digong, was born

on March 28, 1945, is a Filipino Lawyer and Politician of

Visayan descent. Duterte is among the longest-serving

mayors in the Philippines and has been mayor of Davao City,

a highly urbanized city on Mindanao Island for 7 terms,

totaling more than 22 years. He has also served as vice-

mayor and Congressman in the city.

On November 21, 2015, Duterte declared his candidacy

for President of the Philippines in the upcoming 2016

election after a period of banter.

Early life

Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 in Maasin, Leyte in

the Philippine Commonwealth to Cebuano lawyer Vicente G.

Duterte, who served as Governor of (the then-undivided)

Davao and Soledad Roa, a native of Cabadbaran, Agusan who

was a school teacher and a civic leader. Duterte's father

Vicente, prior to being provincial governor of Davao, was

once a mayor of Danao in Cebu. Rodrigo's cousin Ronald, on

the other hand, served as Cebu City mayor from 1983 to

1986. Ronalds father, Ramon Duterte, also held the position

 4

from 1957 to 1959. The Dutertes consider the political

families of the Durano and the Almendras clan as relatives.

Education

Rodrigo spent his elementary days at the Sta. Ana

Elementary School in Davao City, where he graduated in

1956. He finished his secondary education at the Holy Cross

Academy of Digos in Digos City, Davao del Sur after being

expelled twice from previous schools, including one in

Ateneo de Davao University due to misconduct. For his

tertiary education, he took up Bachelor of Arts in

Political Science degree at the Lyceum of the Philippines

University in Manila, where he graduated in 1968. He also

obtained a law degree from San Beda College of Law, still

in Manila, in 1972. In the same year, he passed the bar

exam. Duterte eventually became Special Counsel at the City

Prosecution Office in Davao City from 1977-1979; Fourth

Assistant City Prosecutor from 1979-1981; Third Assistant

City Prosecutor from 1981-1983; and Second Assistant City

Prosecutor from 1983-1986.

Personal life

Duterte is known for being an avid fan of big bikes but

detests luxury cars. He once owned a second-hand Harley

 5

Davidson and currently a Yamaha Virago. He was once a

habitual smoker but he eventually quit after a doctor's

suggestion due to health concerns. Duterte is also openly

supportive

of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender ( LGBT) rights

and is an avid reader of Robert Ludlum and Sydney Sheldon

novels.

Family

Duterte has siblings named Benjamin "Bong" Duterte, a

one-term city councilor of Davao between 1992-1995, younger

sister Jocelyn Duterte who lost in several attempts to grab

a Third District city council seat as well as for the mayor

post in 2001, and Blue Boy Duterte who ran and lost in the

First District congressional race in 1998. Duterte is also

known for his straightforward and vocal attitude in public

especially in interviews, showing no hesitation in using

profanity profusely live on-screen on numerous occasions

despite formal requests by media groups and schools

beforehand to abstain. Duterte was once married to

Elizabeth Abellana Zimmerman, a flight attendant who hails

from Davao City and is of German American descent.

 6

There are 3 children of this marriage: Paolo

("Pulong"), Sara ("Inday Sara") and Sebastian ("Baste").

Paolo and Sara ventured into politics while Baste, with no

interest in politics, concentrated on business. In 2012,

Duterte made a notorious remark in a media interview

regarding an incident where Paolo's name was allegedly

linked to a car napping syndicate led by Ryan Yu. Duterte

is infamously quoted as having said kill my son Paolo if he

is involved in crime.

Paolo was never charged for lack of evidence and eventually

won the Davao City vice mayoralty in 2013. Duterte's mother

Soledad died on February 4, 2012 at the age of 95.

Religion

Despite being raised as a communicant of the Catholic

Church, he was thought to have cursed Pope Francis for the

pontiff's visit to the Philippines in January 2015 because

it caused a traffic jam. He immediately then apologized

through the media saying he wasn't 'cursing' the Pope but

the government's way of preparing the Pope's visit. On

January 19, 2016 while meeting with businessmen in Binondo,

Manila on Tuesday, he clarified that he did not still

attend church since it was incompatible with his mayoral

responsibilities: "If I obey the Ten Commandments or listen

 7

to priests, I would not be able to do anything as a mayor."

Duterte then clarified that he had not abandoned God, only

"forfeited" his religion for the meantime.

Health

Duterte personally disclosed that he suffers from

Buergers Disease, an inflammation of blood vessels mostly

in the limbs that has been traced to previous habitual

smoking, contrary to earlier rumors of throat cancer.

 18

Different communication styles

Asked why they did not present the platform together,

Cayetano said it boiled down to a Difference in

communication styles.

Ive been in Congress for 15 years,hes been in the

streets of Davao for 30 years, so ask me to do a Duterte

for the masses, that wont be me. Ask him to do a Powerpoint

in a hall, that wont be him. So its just a role-playing.

But 100% of the platform came from him and me, he told.

In an ambush interview, Duterte said he hadadopted

Cayetanos platform but that they each have their priority

issues. The other issues of governance are his. As for

mine, I am sure he will not want to tinker with law and

order, criminality, and drugs because that really gets

bloody, he said.

No 'Daang Matuwid

Duterte criticized the Aquino administration for

supposedly allowing corruption to take root in government

agencies. His primary example: airport personnel involved

 19

in the alleged laglag-bala (bullet-dropping) scam. the

straight path, there is no real straight path, he said.

Can Rodrigo Duterte win by being himself?

Duterte wants voters to take him for who he is. But is

his authenticity alienating the moderates who could win him

the presidency.

He pulled the rug under everyone when he announced his

presidential run. He continues to shock with incendiary

statements on freeing villified political personalities,

lips-to-lips kissing with supporters, and curses at the

Pope. Yet, to many, his presidential candidacy is a long

time in the making. Those who believe in his no-nonsense

approach to fighting crime and corruption, in his

upliftment of Davao City, say its about time the

Philippines is led by someone who wont take no for an

answer. Dutertes popularity is evident in recent electoral

surveys. He is now at second or third place among the

countrys top choices for president. With margins between

candidates so slim, analysts still say its anyones ball

game. The next 90 days left in the campaign season will

determine who will outrun the rest on election day In May.

 20

Duterte, a latecomer in the race, has a lot of catching

up to do. With time running short, no one can afford to

make the wrong move.

Convert the unconvinced

If the recent surveys are an indication of Dutertes

consistency as a favored candidate, they also indicate that

he is in danger of stagnating.

For instance, the January Pulse Asia Survey saw Dutertes

numbers go from 23% in December to 20% in January.

 21

Understand the cost of authenticity

Dutertes response to all this: he is being true to

himself.

I would rather lose the elections than lose my God-

given identity, he has said in response to appeals that he

changed his public demeanor.

If most politicians conform to public demands, Duterte

is asking the electorate to do the opposite: accommodate

me, take me for what I am.If you cant, dont vote for me.

His speeches are typically impromptu, although he has a

dependable line-up of jokes executed dozens of times. Only

once did this reporter see Duterte read a speech, and it

was in front of elementary school students.

His authenticity has paid off with some voters. People

reacting to his speeches have told this reporter they

appreciate his genuineness, saying its a welcome change

from politicians who are wolves in sheeps clothing.

Duterte is at his best, and some would say at his worst,

in moments of spontaneity. Audiences of all economic

classes are typically in fits of laughter when he speaks.

He is disarming and witty, able to press the right buttons

 22

to diffuse tension in almost every setting. Though adamant

about showing his true colors, Duterte has shown

flexibility in making some slight changes to his image.

He has apologized for cursing the Pope, even promising

to personally seek pardon from the religious leader after

elections. His declarations of waging a bloody war against

criminals are now back-ended with a caveat that police and

military are to follow the rules of engagement and can only

kill when their lives are threatened and when there is

resistance to arrest.

In front of middle- to upper-class audiences, he tones

down the cursing and flirting. But will his crassness and

outrageous statements seriously affect his chances of

winning? It seems that for certain voters, particularly the

well-to-do, his behavior is something they are willing to

put up with as long as the candidate represents what they

value the most: competence.

Strengthen political machinery

Duterte is up against at least two candidates who have

been oiling their political machinery for years in

preparation for 2016. But Dutertes campaign team is not

sitting pretty. Theyve been putting up regional chapters

 23

and enlisting locals for support. Substantial mobilization

is going on even among Overseas Filipino Workers who have

been tasked to influence the votes of their family members

back home. Its also definitely possible for existing

alliances at the local level to shift to Duterte,

especially in Mindanao.

Articulate his strengths

Despite the challenges facing Duterte, he has the cards

to win the game. Its important for Duterte to communicate

that there is something wrong with our political system,

thus drastic change is called for. To do this, Duterte

needs to elaborate on his advocacy for federalism, the most

radical of changes he is proposing.

Another strength Duterte can emphasize is that he is not

part of the political establishment something his rivals,

all national officials, cannot say.Though Duterte may, in a

sense be part of a political dynasty, with his children

holding local positions and his father a former governor of

Davao, he is still small potato in terms of being a member

of the ruling elite.

To win on this front, Duterte should also dedicate

speech time to persuading voters of his competence to

 24

tackle national issues, aside from his Davao City

achievements.

One such national issue he excels at compared to other

candidates is the problem of Mindanao, said Alampay.

Dutertes understanding of Muslim

Mindanao, the dynamics of the region, his ties with the

ethnic groups there can strengthen his pitch that he is the

lone candidate who can truly bring peace and development to

Mindanao.

Duterte remains a formidable candidate because of his

strengths and the almost zealous devotion of his solid base

of supporters. But pulling ahead requires him to step out

of his comfort zone and perhaps accommodate the comfort

zones of those he has not yet convinced. He and his

campaign team need to beef up their vote-delivery system on

the ground. He needs to tone down on his furor-causing

antics and focus on articulating his good ideas. He owes

that much to a discerning voting public his future

constituents, should destiny grant him the presidency.

 25

Conclusion

If elected president, Duterte said he would allot the

biggest budget to 3 sectors: education, agriculture, and

health services.

And if he elected, he also revived the death penalty, he

would enforce a nationwide smoking ban, No over speeding

and Dollar for the Presidency.

Many Filipinos believe that the style of leadership and

incorruptibility of Duterte is what our country needs to

bring back the days of glory. Don't waste your vote. If you

want an American president, go to Grace. If you want a

competent person, vote for Mar. If you want a man of

integrity, you vote for Binay. If you want a brilliant

president, integrity and all, competence, vote for Miriam.

And if you want a brave, a strict, a strong person, and a

person who will change the status of the Philippines, the

corruptions and widespread killing vote for DUTERTE!
