President Rodrigo Duterte or also known as Digong, the fearless 16th leader of the country.
Prior to being the president, he was the mayor of Davao City.
During his campaign for the presidency, Duterte has always emphasized how much he loathes illegal drugs, corruption, and other heinous crimes.

His campaign for war on drugs resulted in numerous deaths but then it was positively and accepted mostly the Filipino people.
The fearless leader that he is, he stated this according to the report released by the ABS-CBN News, “Corruption is really one [thing] I don’t like. Pati ‘yung anak ko ngayon sinasali sa Customs (controversy). I told you before and I’m telling you now again, kung sino sa mga anak ko ma-involve sa corruption, I will immediately resign.”
Duterte said this during his speech at the Philippine Development Forum: Sulong Pilipinas 2017 on Wednesday.
This was when his son, the Davao Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, went to the hearing of the P6.4-billion illegal drug shipment from China that was illegally brought to the Philippines through the port of Manila.
The hearing was held at the House of Representatives.
Duterte’s pursuit to end the corruption in the country even made him fire his own appointees just because of these allegations.
As per the report, on the house hearing on Monday, Mak Taguba named a certain “Tita Nani” when he was asked to mention personalities who were involved in the “bribery activities at the Bureau of Customs (BOC)”.
He supposedly met “Tita Nani” through a “Davao Group” to which he said is allegedly backed by “Vice Mayor”.
Paolo, the presidential son just said, “Taguba admitted that his testimony against me was based entirely on rumors. Why would we entertain or believe a hearsay? One does not dignify lies with a response.”
