Rodrigo Duterte

I'm fine with gays. I have nothing against gays.

Relax. I am not the man I am portrayed to be by some.

If you're a public official, your life is an open book.

As a lawyer and a former prosecutor, I know the limits of the power and authority of the president. I know what is legal and what is not.

I am well. Do not worry about my health.

The only reason there is peace and order in Davao is because of me.

To all my political opponents, all and sundry, not only the presidential bets, I would like to offer my hand to friendship.

Let me be very clear: my friendship with my friends ends where the interest of the country begins.

God does not discriminate against people, regardless of color, religion, social class, or gender and sexual preferences.

You have to support the government, not to me personally; I do not want anyone cultivating loyalty to me. I don't like that.

Many are asking what my credentials are and what I can do for the Philippines. They are telling me that they heard I am a womanizer. That is true. That is very true.

I only want three children for every family. I'm a Christian, but I'm a realist, so we have to do something with our overpopulation. I will defy the opinion or the belief of the Church.
