"Hindi ako tatakbo ng presidente, wala akong ambisyong maging presidente. In 2016, I will retire from public life for good"  roughly in English "I will not run for the presidency, I don't have the ambition to become the president. In 2016, I will retire from public life for good." Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte stated in a press conference in Grand Meng Seng hotel in Davao on Monday (September 7).
