DAVAO CITY, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) – As expected, President Rodrigo Duterte’s 3 children dominated the Davao City elections, sweeping the mayoral and vice mayoral posts, as well as a congressional seat.

Their victory was proclaimed by the Davao City Board of Canvassers on Tuesday night, May 14.

Results shown by the Davao City Board of Canvassers showed that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is set to keep her post for another term.

Sara garnered 580,058 votes, leading to a landslide win against her lone opponent, Magdaleno “Jun” Marcellones, who got 4,270 votes.

Her younger brother, Sebastian “Baste” Duterte, is running unopposed as vice mayor. Results shown by the Davao City Board of Canvassers showed he got 557,769 votes.
