Amid his insurmountable lead in the just concluded presidential race, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte visited his parents’ tomb and wept uncontrollably.
After a two-hour interview with sect leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy on the latter’s television show, Duterte proceeded to the Davao public cemetery to see his parents’ grave past 3 a.m.
Facing the tomb of his mother, Soledad, the mayor wept as he was heard asking for help and guidance. His right hand clenched in a fist.
He then bowed on his father’s grave and kissed the marble casing.
Duterte’s father, Vicente, was governor of the still-undivided Davao del Sur. His mother was a teacher./rga
