MANILA, Philippines -- President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to give his first "call to arms" to the nation and to colleagues in government during his maiden State of the Nation Address Monday.

Duterte will lay down his legislative agenda, his policies on peace and order and illegal drugs, and his plans for the country's transportation woes in what his premier communications officer said would be an "optimistic but very poignant" speech.

For a quick guide on what Duterte has promised, and what could be his priority action areas, ABS-CBN News Digital (AND) culled into a list these Duterte promises, based largely on a collection from the book "The Duterte Manifesto" published by the ABS-CBN Publishing.
