WATCH: Inaugural address of President Rodrigo Duterte

MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte vowed that he has "no friends to serve" as president in his inaugural speech on Thursday following his oath-taking.

Duterte's 15-minute speech did not have a single expletive unlike his previous addresses, and was interrupted by at least 24 rounds of applause by the crowd of new Cabinet officials, members of the diplomatic corps and other invited guests.
