ALL ABOUT PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE, OLD PHOTOS OF HIS PARENTS AND SIBLINGS ALSO PHOTOS INSIDE HIS HOUSE IN DAVAO

Rodrigo Duterte was born on March 28, 1945, in Maasin, Southern Leyte, Philippines. The son of a regional governor, he graduated from law school in 1972 and joined the City Prosecution Office of Davao City.

Duterte became Davao City mayor in 1988, and was reelected six times after forging a reputation for being tough on crime.

Duterte studied political science at the Lyceum of the Philippines University, graduating in 1968, before obtaining a law degree from San Beda College of Law in 1972.

He then worked as a lawyer and was a prosecutor for Davao City, a highly urbanized city on Mindanao island, before becoming vice mayor and, subsequently, mayor of the city in the wake of the Philippine Revolution of 1986.

Duterte was among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines, serving seven terms and totaling more than 22 years in office.

His maternal grandfather was a Chinese immigrant from Xiamen, Fujian.[26] His father was Vicente G. Duterte (1911–1968), a Cebuano lawyer, and his mother, Soledad Duterte (née Roa; 1916–2012), was a school teacher from Cabadbaran, Agusan and a civic leader of Maranao descent.

Duterte’s father was mayor of Danao, Cebu, and subsequently the provincial governor of (the then-undivided) Davao province.
