Suited for summit, dapper Duterte tries the presidential look

September 7, 2016 By admin

By Mai Nguyen VIENTIANE (Reuters) – Controversial Philippine leader Rodrigo Duterte donned a lounge suit for his first international summit on Wednesday, a rare show of sartorial conformity as pressure mounts on him to act presidential. The maverick former city mayor, who was shunned on Tuesday by the White House for insulting U.S. President Barack Obama over his bloody “war on drugs”, looked dapper as he posed for pictures in a classic, two-button charcoal suit and silk tie. Filipinos are drawn to Duterte's no-nonsense, man-of-the-people style, which sits oddly with the pomp and protocol he encountered at this week's meeting of Southeast Asian leaders in Laos.
