Dear President-elect Duterte,

Congratulations po! I don’t think anyone saw it coming, this huge win of yours, and going by the tears you shed at your mother’s grave today, parang maging kayo ay nagulat, na-overwhelm, sa tindi ng inyong panalo.

Ako naman po ay excited. Unlike my middle-class network on social media, I do not fear you nor dread your presidency. Unlike many who declared they were now shopping for another country because you won, leaving has not crossed my mind at all.
