DAVAO CITY: Incoming Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte (pic) will never ride the presidential Mercedes-Benz, believing it’s a jinx.
Three days before being sworn in as the new Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte has made up his mind about three matters in the presidency: first he deeply regrets not being close to the people more because of security issues but must follow the Presidential Security Group’s precautions; second, he will never ride the president’s Mercedes-Benz, believing it’s a jinx; and third, and the most important for him, he vowed to whisper to government officials caught committing corruption to just leave, no ifs or buts.
