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!
