President Duterte visited the final resting place of his late parents--Vicente Duterte and Soledad Duterte--at the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Davao City on Monday, Nov. 8.
Accompanying the Chief Executive was his longtime friend and aide, Senator Christopher "Bong" Go. Go is the vice presidential bet of the ruling Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) in the May 2022 elections.
Duterte, 76, was seen kissing a tomb and praying at a glass-encased urn.
His father, Vicente, was a former governor of then undivided Davao Province; his mother, Soledad, on the other hand was a teacher and respected local civil leader.
Duterte served multiple terms as Davao City mayor before he was elected as president in 2016.
