Which was something like 8 million more votes than second, as I recall.

Yeah I think was about 8 million. Can't imagine how many girls giving out gum on the Victory Liner’s that would be :)

Yes, I also get the English translations from the Tagalog. My wife tells me, since she speaks Tagalog and Bisaya, that a lot of what you may hear in English, is garbage. She listens to what Duterte actually says in Tagalog, and what the media reports that he says. Much of the time, the two are vastly different. Color me surprised. Not.

Yesterday, there was a victory party at Crocodile Park in Davao City. It was really crowded. 30 or 40 years ago,
Davao City was a VERY dangerous place to live. The powers that be, Duterte and others, decided that trend was going to end. It did end. Now Davao City is the safest city in the entire country.
I don't know if it can be done throughout the whole country, but he will try.

A lot of people have little understanding of the potential that the Philippines has. It might not be recognizable in a few years.

There biggest potential is all that unused labor. If the corruption was down, so investors could put those people to work, think what the standard of living could be.

The corruption is the main problem. I’ve found it costs a lot to start a business and your profit will be fairly minimal. For years, unless you are a multinational, it’s almost a work in charity. However, once you have paid off your investment, you’re pretty much left alone to do your business.

“The corruption is the main problem’
Exactly, going after the drugs will do nothing about that. I have spent most my time in Makati, Bagio and Leyte. Never noticed much of drug problem but always was aware that to get something done I need to grease somebodies palm...

Damn, can't escape the Cassius Clay worship, even on a PI thread.
