Rodrigo Roa Duterte, fabled Son of the South, was finally sworn in as the 16th president of the Republic of the Philippines. With his inauguration comes the hope of a better, stronger nation which he had promised, and which his people desperately long for in a very long time. It was the people's cry for a real change that has catapulted him to the presidency. It was the people's call for a new brand of leadership--the kind that would stand strong on their behalf--that made him the people's anointed. Vox populi, vox dei, as they say.
Strong, decisive, irreverent at times and a staunch nationalist to a fault. He is Rodrigo Roa Duterte, son of the South. Not perfect, but real. Not the best, but his heart could make him so. May he prosper in the purpose that his people gave him. May his works usher the nation in a true and lasting change. May he be a true warrior in word and in deed--fighting for the common good and for his people.
