Duterte Claims Victory in Philippine Election
Mayor of Davao, Rodrigo Duterte, claims victory in the Philippine presidential election.
The Mayor of Davao, Rodrigo Duterte, has claimed victory in the Philippine presidential election. With the vast majority of the votes counted, Duterte has secured more than 15 million votes - more than six million more than his nearest rival, Mar Roxas. His campaign focused on an extremely tough crack-down on crime and corruption in his home city, with some of his comments on the subject proving highly controversial.
