Supporters of former President Rodrigo Duterte flocked to his family’s home in Davao City on Thursday evening, following unverified reports of a police raid on the premises. The gathering came as a show of solidarity with the Duterte family, who have been fixtures in Davao City politics for decades.
The reports of a potential police raid sparked concerns among Duterte’s supporters, prompting them to converge on the family’s ancestral home. However, there has been no official confirmation of any police activity at the residence.
The Duterte family has a strong following in Davao City, where former President Duterte previously served as mayor. His daughter, Sara Duterte, is currently the Vice President of the Philippines, while his son, Paolo Duterte, is a representative of the 1st District of Davao City.
