Here’s what Mayor Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte have to say for the Filipino people during the National Campaign Conference recently held at the Grand Regal Hotel, Davao City.
On his platforms:
- “I have a policy not to accept money from persons or companies who do business with the government…”
- “The disqualification does not worry me. I am a lawyer and our Legal Team can carry us through the day.”
- “We do not have the infrastructure for prosperity. Mega Manila is overloaded… (Highlighting the need to make new airports, ports and roads)”
- “There has to be an impact on poverty. It is the grinding stone of the misery of the Filipino people.”
- “There must be food available to every Filipino — and it must be affordable.”
- “Look behind every cuss and curse — there’s the tragedy of the Filipino people. Galit ako!”
On his beloved Davao City
- “You want me to prove something? Exhibit A: Davao City.”
- “Davao City has the highest economic growth in the country at 9%.”
- “Dito sa Davao, una ang tao. I do not like oppression.”
On Presidency
- “The Presidency is a long shot…”
- “I can only promise you the things I can accomplish. Nothing beyond my term.”
- “What I can promise you is I can stop corruption. We can start nation-building. We can start talking about peace.”
- “If I compromise myself, I would rather not be President. The Presidency is not mine to give. It is for the Filipino people.”
- “If you work for me, you are investing in the future of the country. Kasi kapag sinabi ko talagang gagawin ko.”
- “If God wants me to be there, I will arrive in Malacañang.”
The future of our country rests in our hands. Let’s be part of history!
