A recent Pulse Asia survey showed that Mayor Rodrigo Duterte ranked third.
The survey conducted last March 1 to 7, 2015 revealed Mayor Duterte as the one of the Presidential aspirants eventhough his name was not included in the survey. This strongly shows that many people believed in his political will. People, especially in Mindanao, agree to his unconventional ways of running his city which made him popular even overseas.
