It was all grins in Davao City on Monday morning, as voters lined up to cast ballots for the new President of the Philippines, confident that their pugnacious mayor, Rodrigo Duterte, would romp home after building a commanding lead in latest polls.

“I've been impressed with how he runs this city and I think it will be the same for the country if he becomes president,” says first time voter Efren Pajente, 21, a retail assistant who moved to Davao three years ago.
