The camp of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte on Monday expressed its gratitude after he topped the latest Social Weather Station (SWS) survey.
“We are grateful that the surveys are now reflecting what we have been witnessing and experiencing on the ground,” Peter Tiu Lavina, Duterte’s spokesman, said in a statement.
