“So ato siyang gipangutana ug ibaligya ba tong balay sa among lola ingon siya dili daw to ibaligya, di siya mosugot,” Pulong said.

Although facing charges of crimes against humanity related to his administration’s controversial war on drugs, former President Duterte's family assured the public that he remains in good physical and emotional condition.

DAVAO CITY – Former President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday, June 30, said he has no plans of selling their house here, two days after partner Honeylet Avanceña said that it is for sale.

His son, Davao City Rep. Paolo Z. Duterte, relayed this during an interview aired on the Alvin & Tourism Facebook page following a visit to the International Criminal Court detention center in The Hague, Netherlands on Monday afternoon.

Today marks 100 days since my father… was unjustly taken and held in detention in The Hague,” Paolo Duterte said in a public statement. “As a son, the pain is immeasurable. As a Filipino, the injustice is unbearable.” He urged the public to remember Duterte not only as a leader, but also as a father, friend, and patriot.

He emphasized: “He is not a criminal. He is a man who gave his life to serve this nation… walked the most difficult paths so that we may live in peace, free from fear, and with dignity.” Paolo stressed that the former president stood unwaveringly against the enemies of the Republic, and now “suffers alone — far from home, far from his people.”
