MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte joined Filipinos all over the country in remembering their beloved dead, as he visited the grave of his parents in Davao City late Tuesday, November 1.
Duterte arrived at the tomb of his parents around 10:30 pm, several hours after his original schedule was postponed due to heavy rain.
His youngest son, Sebastian Duterte, also joined him in paying respects to the late Vicente and Soledad Duterte.
