Yep All good here thanks. I hope same for you. 

Regarding the new President Duterte, for now it's a wait and see till his final team composition is made.

If he eradicates crime that's already a good thing. I don't think minor crimes (drugs, small crimes) are the major issue in the Philippines, but he made a big emphasis on this during his campaign. And if he really includes corruption into that terminology (I believe he does), then it'll be even better! President Aquino made a lot of improvements on the corruption issues, but it's still a very big challenge. I guess Duterte will make "no joke" on this topic. So I hope for the best. 

For the other economy aspects (a lot is linked to corruption though), especially large infrastructures in my opinion, we hope for a strong economic team, but anyway he pretty much said he'd continue the economic  policies of Aquino, so hopefully it's at least as good as before. 

I know he was called the Trump of Asia and is believed to have human right issues. A lot seems (hopefully!) to be overdone, it was during the campaign which had to be "fun" like the Filipinos like it.

We are in the "hope" phase then...,

Thank you for sharing this perspective; which is that of a generous French expat in the Philippines.
