    Duterte - “I am not running”

    It’s official: Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte will not run for president in the 2016 elections.

    Duterte made the announcement past 4 p.m. on Monday at Grand Men Seng Hotel in Davao City.

    Amid public clamor urging him to run for president, Duterte has repeatedly said he was not interested in seeking the top national post because of a “flawed government system,” opposition from his family, and lack of funds, among other reasons

    Final answer.

    It's just too much to jump as high as Mayor to President.
    Pity really.

    On the positive side we get to keep him here in Davao City for as long as we can

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
