“The truth of the moment is, itong mga ito<\/em>, after so many validations, even when I was still mayor of Davao City, lumalabas na itong mga pangalang ito,<\/em>\u00a0talagang lumalabas<\/em>,” Duterte says in his speech during the\u00a069th anniversary celebration of the Philippine Air Force.<\/p>\n (The truth of the moment is, these names, after so many validations, even when I was still mayor of Davao City, these names have been mentioned.)<\/p>\n “It’s going to be a dirty fight.
