LOOKBOOK | The "Duterte shirt"
Doing Duterte's fist sign that was a hallmark of his campaign. Call this my tribute of sorts to our new president, Rodrigo R. Duterte , who was officially sworn into office today at exactly 12 noon in accordance with the Constitution. I may not agree with him on a lot of things but, like it or not, he is our president. I'm only hoping that God or the powers that be guide him as he leads the country toward realizing that genuine change he has promised during his campaign. Much has been said about Duterte's fashion sense, or lack thereof. He definitely is no Trudeau in terms of style and he couldn't care less about how he looks. He is often seen wearing slightly baggy pants and of course, his trademark short-sleeved checkered shirt , which I'm totally embracing today. Yeah, you can call it plaid or whatever but in this part of the world, it's also fondly called the " Duterte shirt " by some.
