Monching Lumantas, a citizen of Davao City praised how President Rodrigo Duterte is staying in service despite the hardships he is facing.
In his Facebook, Lumantas called Duterte the "coolest president".
"He is 71 years old but he has the energy of a 17-year old. He works until the wee hours of the morning. While others wear Americana and formal suits, he dons only white polo with rolled up sleeves, corduroy pants, top sider shoes with no socks on," he said.
Duterte brands himself as a man who denounces extravagance.
"He is lonely, overworked and underpaid. His life is always in danger. He could have opted to retire and live peacefully. But, he chose otherwise, you know why?" Lumantas said.
He then quoted Duterte as saying " My only reason for staying in the job is my love for our country."
Duterte in his first weeks as President said that he was lonely and claimed that life as a president was not meant for him.
