Duterte, Pinoys groove to OPM at SEA Games opening

Original Pilipino Music (OPM) proved to be so infectious that President Rodrigo Duterte himself got up to his feet and joined thousands of Filipino athletes and spectators in dancing to a catchy popular Pinoy classic during the opening of the 30th SEA Games at the Philippine Arena on Saturday night.

Duterte was seen on camera swaying to "Manila" — popularized by Hotdog — while waving his hands as Filipino athletes were called to the stage for the parade of athletes.
