The Duterte Administration is headed by Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte who was the former mayor of Davao City. He had served the city for more than two decades and undeniably, he was one of those candidates who really have loud names during the election campaign.

He secured the presidential position through garnering most of the votes of the populace. The 71-year-old tough-talking man led the race with the other prominent presidential candidates.

Pres. Duterte, a vocal critic of illegal drugs and corruption, went out as the victor in a presidential race against former Interior Sec. Mar Roxas, former Vice Pres. Jejomar Binay, Sen. Grace Poe, and the late Sen. Miriam Santiago.
