Early this year, the name Rodrigo Duterte has been buzzing around as one of the possible candidates to vie for the presidency in the 2016 elections. With bated breath, the nation watched as the Davao City mayor hemmed and hawed about his candidacy in the weeks leading up to the filing of CoCs (certificate of candidacy).
