Former Pres. Duterte was arrested by the Philippine authorities last March 11 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Vice Pres. Sara Duterte is reportedly against the selling of the Davao house of former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte and Honeylet Avanceña. Based on the report, the Vice President recognized that the residential property belongs to her father and his long-time partner and she has no stakes on the property but she wishes that it will be opened to the public.
“For people to see where the former president lived, where he slept or ate,” Vice Pres. Sara Duterte said.
Honeylet did not disclose the asking price in the selling of her and former Pres. Duterte’s house. Previously, Duterte supporters gathered outside the property and the residents in the subdivision have reportedly complained of the noise and trashes left.
Currently, the former President’s camp is seeking his ICC interim release. According to Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, her father can be called “super senior” citizen.
