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.

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.
