pledges and make reforms, "which I thought was extremely
possible at the time.To provide free education which is already in
place Universal Health Care and the fight against illegal drugs,
criminality, and corruption; and the development of infrastructure,
including free irrigation and other large-scale projects, which I
thought I had the funds to implement, but which, by chance, were
completed during my term, among others," Duterte said. As his
time draws to a close, Duterte went on to remark that making
major adjustments and improvements in only six years was
difficult. Much was expected of him, but he said he did the best he
could given the time constraints imposed by the Constitution. He
spoke about how he had to struggle against oligarchs and critics
in order to fight for the poor That is why I cajoled, prodded,
pushed, and wrestled with men of wealth and position who were
unconcerned about the suffering and cries of the poor and
powerless. And I was roundly chastised for it. I, on the other hand,
did not succumb to the attacks. And I didn't let any criticism, no
matter how harsh, dissuade me from taking action because my
goal was pure and unpolluted," Duterte said.
