Duterte received leadership tips from FVR
PDP-Laban standard bearer, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, was given some leadership tips by former President Fidel Ramos.
Duterte's executive assistant Bong Go shared photos of the meeting, which was held earlier this week, on his Facebook account on Monday.
Duterte’s running mate Sen. Alan Cayetano, his wife Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano, and his sister Sen. Pia Cayetano, were also present during the meeting.

On Wednesday before proceeding to his activities in Valenzuela City, Duterte refused to say whether or not he was formally endorsed by Ramos.
But he said the photos posted online “speak also of many things”.
“Just ask Ramos. I don’t want to make a second guess,” he replied smiling.
Question: Did FVR endorse you as president?

Duterte, however, said that Ramos gave him a book on the fundamentals of being a president as well as shared some pointers on leading a country.
“Sinabi ni Ramos na kung ikaw ang ma-presidente, ito gawin mo, ito gawin mo. Binigyan ako ng libro, parang fundamentals of the presidency,” he said. — BAP, GMA News
