Duterte gifts valedictorians house and lot packages

President Rodrigo Duterte gifted house and lot packages to the valedictorians of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA).

The PMA's top graduate, Cadet First Class Gemalyn Sugui, and the PNPA's valedictorian, Cadet Lei Anne Palermo, each received a house and lot worth P2 million from Vista Land company.

In addition to the house and lot, Duterte humorously advised the valedictorians not to allow their boyfriends into their new homes if they were drunk or unfaithful.

The cadet who graduated last in class, known as the "goat," received a certificate for a Rock Island Armory .45-caliber pistol.

This year's graduation ceremonies for both academies were held simultaneously, with President Duterte delivering his message remotely from Malacañang due to COVID-19 quarantine measures.
