With less than three weeks in his term, Duterte reiterated the call for unity behind the new leaders of the country. “We have no room for politicking or actions that are divisive to the country. The people have spoken. We now have leaders,” he said partly in Filipino in a pre-recorded talk that aired Monday night.
