Presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday said he is ready to be the country’s father.

“I’m ready to be your father…I promise you a comfortable life,” Duterte told around 300, 000 supporters during his miting de avance in Luneta, Manila.

The tough-talking mayor reiterated his vow to end criminality and illegal drugs within the first six months of his administration.

He said he would replicate to the Philippines what he has done for Davao City.

“I am not your perfect option. But I am your last card. I promise you I will get down and dirty just to get things done. I will get things done. I will do it for the Filipino people,” he said.
