At past 12 noon, Duterte arrived at the Plaza de Lingayen where his supporters waited for him.

The tough-talking mayor reiterated his vow to stop crime, illegal drugs and corruption in government within the first three to six months of his administration.

He also pushed for federalism, not only to end the decades-long secession in Mindanao but to bring progress across the Philippines.

Duterte was accompanied by his running mate Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
