Expectations from President Duterte

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte speaks before the protesting residents in the city who are calling for the moratorium on housing foreclosure in several housing projects in the city. At least 5,000 homeowners coming from different subdivisions in the city and even from neighboring towns and cities marched around the city on Wednesday afternoon, Feburary 11, 2008 to oppose the transfer of an estimated P13 billion worth of housing loans with the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC) to a private entity known as Balikatan Housing Finance Inc. (BHFI). AKP Images / Keith Bacongco

Now that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is clearly the winner of the recent presidential elections, I tried to review the things that he mentioned during the series of presidential debates.

This list is not complete of course but here are some of the things that I remember he mentioned. I’ll try to review the 3 presidential debates and update this list. Hopefully, after his term in 2022, all these expectations and promises will be met:

  1. Suppression of drugs and criminality within 3-6 months
  2. Clean government. Peaceful country (3rd debate)
  3. End of contractualization
  4. Separate department for OFWs (including bank, one-stop-shop, etc)
  5. 1 doctor per barangay
  6. Department of Finance or Department of Tourism under a women head
  7. Kill son if he’s engage in drugs
  8. Divert income of PAGCOR for hospital expenses (of the poor)
  9. Will not declare Martial Law unless rebellion and lawless violence
  10. More train system

  12. Resolve the issue of rice cartel and smugglers in 3 days (1st debate)
  13. Right the historical wrong against Mindanao
  14. Bangsamoro Basic Law + Federalism (to resolve the issue of peace in Mindanao)
  15. Manila is a symbol of being oppress (so he won’t stay in Malacanan?)
  16. 64% of National Budget goes to Manila (NCR) and only 19% goes to Region 9 (so more budget for Mindanao)
  17. Cooperatives/Credit Union per Region
  18. Landbank should give (more funds) to farmers
  19. Talk to the New People’s Army (NPA)
  20. Will allow Marcos to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani
