We watched his inauguration speech on TV
It was presented in English with occasional Bisaya and Tagalog "translations"

There were plenty of "jokes" which is pretty normal for him.

A lot of the stuff being banded about just isn't correct and is just media sensationalism. As per usual.
What he actually said was the opposite of what is being printed.

He stated that neither civilians nor police will be immune from the law if they do not follow the protocols laid down by the Philippine constitution. Period.

I thought his speech was very measured and very good. Oftentimes direct, but he's dealing with a government full of criminals who have the knowledge and the money to pervert justice.

I say give him a chance to bring about change and check reality and facts behind the media reporting.

He is direct, often harsh against criminal and corrupt behaviours, honest to a fault and wants to bring needed improvement to the lives of the ordinary folks of the Philippines.

Media the whole world over are just as corrupt and dishonest as the British media.
