Time to move on

PRESUMPTIVE President-elect Rodrigo Duterte made an encouraging gesture in offering his hands of friendship to his rivals and start healing the wounds of a heated campaign.

Instead of gloating over his uphill battle to a resounding victory, Duterte showed himself to be a man who could be humble and gentle and victory. This is a far cry from the irreverent, foul-mouthed persona that he projected during the campaign. He’s starting on the right foot and the whole nation hopes he’ll continue with all the right moves. I could hardly wait for what he’ll do after June 30 when he starts his six-year term as president.
