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.
He said that the property holds significant sentimental value as it is the first home he acquired.
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.
Honeylet said that the house is for sale in a phone interview with DZRH radio station on Saturday.
Veronica, in a Facebook post, said: “For sale Duterte family house” followed by a house and three crying emojis.
A for sale tarpaulin was posted on the gate of the house in Davao City on Saturday. On Sunday, the sign was no longer present. No reason was disclosed why it was removed or no longer there.
Rep. Duterte said he asked his father about the house being up for sale, a topic he initially avoided due to the former President’s current detention and delicate situation.
“I asked him if he was considering selling the house. He said no. That home was the first he bought with his money, and he doesn’t want to let it go,” Rep. Duterte told Filipinos outside the ICC detention center.
“He told me, ‘Why would I sell that? That’s my very first house.’ He also mentioned that Honeylet has a much larger house, so there’s no need to sell the house at Doña Luisa Subdivision,” the lawmaker said.
Rep. Duterte asked his father if Honeylet has sold the property. The former President gave an unclear answer and said that should the house be sold, the family could not change what had already been done.
Rep. Duterte said that their mother — Elizabeth Zimmerman, the former President’s former wife — has expressed intention to welcome the former Chief Executive into their family home once he is released from detention.
“Our mother already said that when the time comes, and if God wills his release, he can stay in our family’s house. We all have our own homes, and if he doesn’t have one anymore, he can stay in any of ours,” Rep. Duterte said.
Rep. Duterte said that he discussed the matter with Vice President Sara Duterte and acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte. The siblings agreed that it is more than a private property.
“That house can no longer be considered just our father’s. It has become part of Davao City’s identity, now a known place where people gather,” Rep. Duterte said.
