This was revealed by his son, Davao City First District Representative Paolo “Pulong” Duterte, who recently visited his father at the ICC Detention Center in The Hague.
“Amo siyang gipangutana kung ibaligya ba daw ang balay — dili gyud daw. Kana iyang balay, mao daw na ang iyang unang balay, ug dili gyud siya gusto nga ibaligya na,” Rep. Duterte said during an interview with the Alvin & Tourism Facebook Page.
He also clarified that the house in question is distinct from the property of Honeylet Avanceña, Duterte’s longtime partner.
“Kang Ma’am Honeylet, naa man daw siya’y kaugalingong dako nga balay. Dili kana nga balay iyang ginapuy-an,” Pulong added, further dispelling rumors of any internal family dispute over property.
