President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines. He is mostly known in the country by his nickname “Digong”. He was elected on the 30th day of May, year 2016 and he started serving the country, June 30 2016. He was first the city Mayor of Davao City before he became the President of the Philippines. He was 71 years old when he started his legacy, and known as the oldest president of the Philippines.
President Duterte has done a lot of things that helped our country grow. During his term the number of poor families in the Philippines has reduce from 23.5% to 16.7% due to the three major tax reforms¬¬- the Rice Tarriffication Law (which removes the rice monopoly and allows import to lower the price of rice), the TRAIN or Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law of January 2018 (which proide exemptions from income taxes for those who are earning no more than P250, 000 (per year) and the Universal Healthcare Act. He implemented a campaign against illegal drug. He started the Build, Build, Build infrastructure Plan, and part of the policy is the development of infrastructures and industries. And during his term, Philippines achieved it’s highest credit rating-BBB + on April 2020, amidst COVID-19 pandemic and on June 2020, Japan Credit Rating Agency had upgrade it’s rating to the Philippines to A-. He has also provided punishment and threats to those abusive water corporation, telecommunications and media corporations. The opening of NAIA Express Way, One-Stop Shop Service Center and OEC Removal are only some of things he did for the country.
Indeed, President Duterte is a great president. He did so much things for the country and I am very much grateful for his good work. And us, his citizens will and forever be grateful for his service and his genuine leadership. And yes, he is the strongest and the best leader we all have. And now, he is in his last year as our President, and we all shall salute him. He is not just our country’s leader but he is also our father that helped our family grow together with peace and unity.
