DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, known for his iron-fist kind of management, has repeatedly said that he was not interested in running for president of the Philippines in the 2016 elections.

But at 4pm on Monday, September 7 (September 6 U.S. time), Duterte is scheduled to make a very important announcement.  Neithier the mayor nor his closest aides are saying what the announcement is going to be.

However, The Adobo Chronicles® has learned from a very reliable source that Duterte will announce that he is running.

Running away from running for president, that is.
