Majority of the people are happy with the newly elected president of the Republic. What he is currently doing right now are the platforms he had during the election campaign. He has a huge won which give him encouragement to pursue everything that has been said during the campaign. People love and liked him even before he was not the president because he is a man of courage and principle.

Regarding his sentiments about the west, there was no problem with that. What he wanted is that before they give him comment or lecture, they should have first know the real truth because sometimes what was reported in media is not true.

This was his style long time ago when he was still a mayor in Davao. Running the presidency was not his plan, he was urge by many non-government groups to run because the people wanted to achieve the real change that the country never had after the Marcos regime.
