Duterte rejects selling Davao home, volunteers debunk 'for sale' sign

The 'for sale' sign placed at former President Rodrigo Duterte's house in Davao City was taken down over the weekend.

Duterte's common-law wife Honeylet Avanceña confirmed earlier that the property is up for sale after her husband's arrest and transfer to The Hague, Netherlands.

However, volunteers monitoring the house said they did not see any 'for sale' sign and labeled social media posts about it as fake news.

Duterte's son, First District Representative Paolo Duterte, recently visited his father at the ICC Detention Center and reported that his father firmly rejects selling his home.

'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 (Tinanong namin siya kung ibebenta raw ba ang bahay, hindi raw talaga. Ang bahay raw na yan ay ang pinakauna niyang bahay, at ayaw niya talagang ibenta na.)', Rep. Duterte said.

Despite facing serious charges before the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity, Rep. Duterte assured the public that his father remains in good health and high spirits.
