MANILA, Philippines – The rise of Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte to the presidency was a rollercoaster ride full of promises, profanities, and a very strong support base.
He currently enjoys an insurmountable lead over other candidates who – save for one – the tough-talking mayor had heated exchanges with throughout the campaign period.
Duterte, the president-elect of many firsts, has also surpassed the number of votes Benigno Aquino III got in 2010.
What are the other important numbers that paint the colorful political and personal life of the Philippines’ first Mindanaoan president?
