Administration of Rodrigo Roa Duterte (2016–present)

Rodrigo Duterte, current President of the Philippines.

Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte of PDP–Laban won the 2016 presidential election, garnering 39.01% or 16,601,997 of the total votes,
becoming the first Mindanaoan to become president. On the other hand, Camarines Sur 3rd District representative Leni Robredo won with the
second narrowest margin in history, against Senator Bongbong Marcos.[220] On 30 May, the Congress had proclaimed Rodrigo Duterte, despite
his absence, as president-elect and Leni Robredo as vice president-elect.[221] On July 12, 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in
favor of the Philippines in its case against China's claims in the South China Sea.[222] Duterte's presidency began following his inauguration on
June 30, 2016 at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall of the Malacañang Palace in Manila, which was attended by more than 627 guests.[223] On August 1,
2016, the Duterte administration launched a 24-hour complaint office accessible to the public through a nationwide hotline, 8888, and changed
the nationwide emergency telephone number from 117 to 911.[224][225] After winning the Presidency, Duterte launched an intensified anti-
drug campaign to fulfill a campaign promise of wiping out criminality in six months.[226] By March 2017, the death toll for the Philippine Drug
War passed 8,000 people, with 2,679 killed in legitimate police operations and the rest the government claims to be homicide cases.[227][228
][229] On November 8, 2016, the Supreme Court of the Philippines ruled in favor of the burial of the late president Ferdinand Marcos in the
Libingan ng Mga Bayani, the country's official cemetery for heroes, provoking protests from thousands of millennials, Marcos-regime human
rights victims, and relatives of people who were tortured, killed, or were still missing due to martial rule. The burial of the late president was a
campaign promise of President Rodrigo Duterte, who was supported by voters in Ilocos Norte, the home province of Marcos.[230] In November
18, 2016, the remains of Ferdinand Marcos was secretly buried by the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the family
and friends of Ferdinand Marcos, despite the Supreme Court order being non-executory due to protocol. Later in the afternoon, the event was
made public.[231] On May 23, 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Proclamation No. 216 declaring a 60-day martial law in Mindanao
