Duterte thanks Filipinos for their support

With only four days left before his term ends, President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday expressed gratitude to the Filipino public at a thanksgiving event in his honor.

“Maiksi lang po. Sa sambayanang Pilipino, maraming-maraming salamat sa inyo,” Duterte told the crowd at the Quirino Grandstand.

(This will be short. Thank you very much to the Filipino people.)

Dubbed “Salamat PPRD,” the concert was highlighted by a drone show featuring the president’s face and his fist symbol.

During the event, Duterte joined in singing the Petula Clark song “Fill the World with Love” being performed on stage by a group of doctors and medical frontliners.

The event concluded with Duterte taking the microphone anew to sing his favorite song “Ikaw” as fireworks lit the sky.

The chief executive was accompanied by his common-law wife Honeylet Avanceña. Senator Imee Marcos, Senator Bong Go, and some of his cabinet members were also present. — BM/KG, GMA News
