Two offices

Malacañang Palace in Manila is the President’s official residence, but Duterte returns every week to Davao City, where he served as its longtime mayor. In his home city, he holds office and meetings in either the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) depot compound in Panacan or at the Matina Enclaves.

In Duterte’s first 100 days as president, Davao City had its share of the spotlight in the news.

On September 2, an improvised bomb exploded in the middle of a busy night market in Duterte’s home city killing 14. Duterte, who was in the city at the time, rushed to the explosion site and declared a state of lawlessness nationwide. 

On September 18, Norwegian hostage Kjartan Sekkingstad was released by his Abu Sayyaf captors and presented to Duterte and the press there.

Light, serious moments
