Aquino offers Duterte help ‘in any way’ post handover

Outgoing President Benigno Aquino 3rd has congratulated his successor, President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, offering him assistance in any manner even after the end of his term on June 30 so the new government would not have to “reinvent the wheel” during the transition.

It was the first time that Aquino and Duterte spoke on the phone since the tough-talking Davao City mayor won the presidency by a landslide in the May 9 general elections.
