The Philippines' president-elect, controversial city mayor Rodrigo Duterte, announced plans this morning for an overhaul of the country's system of government.
The plans would see power devolved from "imperial Manila" to provinces.
Mr Duterte's win in yesterday's poll has not been confirmed, but an unofficial count of votes by an election commission-accredited watchdog showed he had a huge lead over his two closest rivals, both of whom conceded defeat.
By this morning, the ballot count showed Mr Duterte had almost 39% of votes cast.
He was more than six million votes ahead of the second-placed candidate with 92% of votes counted from an electorate of 54 million.
It is not clear when Mr Duterte's victory will be officially declared but he is expected to take office on 30 June.
Votes were also cast yesterday for vice-president.
One day on, counting showed the outgoing administration's candidate, Maria Leonor Robredo, ahead of the son and namesake of late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Mr Duterte's spokesman, Peter Lavina, told a news conference that the new president would seek a national consensus for a revision of the constitution which would switch from a unitary form of government to a parliamentary and federal model.
The proposal to devolve power from Manila fits with Mr Duterte's challenge as a political outsider to the country's establishment, which he has slammed as self-serving and corrupt.
"The powerful elites in Manila who will be affected by this system will definitely oppose this proposal," said Earl Parreno, an analyst at the Institute for Political and Electoral Reforms.
Mr Duterte's spokesman said he would also seek peace agreements with rebel groups in the south of the archipelago, where the outgoing government has been using force to quell militancy.
The 71-year-old's defiance of political tradition has drawn comparisons with presumptive US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, as have his references to his libido.
That tapped into popular disgust with the ruling class over its failure to reduce poverty and inequality despite several years of robust economic growth.
Mr Duterte's vows to restore law and order also resonated with voters.
But his incendiary rhetoric and advocacy of extrajudicial killings to stamp out crime and drugs have alarmed many who hear echoes of the country's authoritarian past.
