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.

Lets take a tour on his house in davao:


EXTERIOR. Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte stands outside his house.


ENTRANCE. The first room after walking in from the garage.


SHOE CRAZE. ‘The only thing I have in common with Imelda Marcos,’ Duterte jokingly says about his shoe obsession.


LIVING ROOM. The mayor’s masseuse waits for him in his living room.


BOOKWORM. Duterte says he loves spy novels and history books.


INTO HIS ABODE. Mayor Duterte climbs up this spiral staircase every day to reach his bedroom.


BEDROOM. Mosquitoes tend to bother him at night, hence the net.


STAYING FIT. He says he tries to exercise on this machine twice a day.


SPACIOUS BATHROOM. This is where he does a lot of thinking, the Mayor says.


PHOTOS OF HIS DAUGHTER. Here’s a photo of his youngest child, Veronica.


DUTERTAXI. This taxi was given to Mayor Duterte by his friends 4 years ago to enable him to go around the city incognito.

You couldn't imagine if there such a things like this. But it made possible by a British artist.


Jason Decaires Taylor, has finished work on a 300-sculpture underwater museum off the coast of Lazarote, Spain.


The Museo Atlántico in Playa Blanca is the only underwater sculpture museum in Europe. It has been open to the public since 2 March 2016. Divers can dive here amongst the impressive sculptures.

The underwater museum in Lanzarote is situated in a protected area near Coloradas at a deph of 15 meters.



The Museo Atlántico will be built in several phases. The first phase, which consists of six different groups, is now complete. Los Jolateras, the first component, is a group of children in little brass boats. You can also see the famous Raft of Lampedusa, a reference to the current refugee crisis.


Installation kicked off early last year, with the first group of works going up on their watery site in February, submerged some 45 feet below the surface.


Dubbed the Museo Atlantico, the enigmatic gallery on the ocean floor includes dreamlike humanoid statues “walking” toward an intricate, 98-foot-long gate entitled “The Portal.”


Scuba divers and vacationers aboard glass-bottomed boats aren’t the only visits the museum is meant to attract. The museum doubles as a habitat for a number of sea fauna, from fish to octopuses to urchins.


To call the sculptures on display “eclectic” doesn’t quite seem to cut it. There’s an installation of what appears to be a pile of bodies (!) arranged in a circle; a sculpture of a person on what looks suspiciously like a funeral pyre; and more.

It was really disappointing knowing that President Rodrigo Duterte ordered to terminate the contract of the ground handling service provider responsible for such cases, but then still our kababayan experienced such stealing from her baggage.

The incident happened at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.


Glad Broce, she came back from her vacation in Japan carried by a direct flight of Cebu Pacific from Narita airport.


When she arrived back to the Philippines at NAIA 3 and got her baggage on the conveyor she noticed that the locks of her baggage was already broken and the combination is far from right numbers which means they tried to have its combination but unfornately still they can't open it and decided to broke the locks.














She tried to complain at Cebu Pacific Airline on this matter and they said they will update Glad within 24 hours.

It took days already but then she never received a call from the airlines until this date.

Noong Sabado sinabi ni Actor Baron Geisler na sya ay binugbog ng kanyang bayaw. Nagpost pa sya sa Instragam ng kanyang larawan na putok ang mukha at nagdurugo na may caption na "What to do? Break in and bugbog by family. Wow. Still forgive them. Pera pera 'pag alana si mama."


Ito ay nangyari sa bahay ng mga Geisler sa Angeles City, Pampanga ng alas 2 pasado ng madaling. Ayon sa ilan sa mga interview ni Baron ito ay pumunta sa presinto upang manghingi ng medical examination certificate.


Ayon kay Baron, binugbog siya ng brother in-law niya, pero hindi niya sinabi ang pangalan. Family matters daw ang dahilan. Ang sabi ni Baron, hindi pa sure kung magsasampa siya ng kaso, humingi lang siya ng certificate para medical examination. Hindi raw siya lumaban nang bugbugin siya.


Sa kabilang banda, nagsalita naman ang kanyang bayaw tungkol dito. “He’s my brother-in-law. Lahat ng sinasabi niya, the reason why I burst into anger, hapon pa lang, lasing na siya. He barged in my house, lasing", sabi ng bayaw ni Baron na si Michael.


Dagdag pa nito, “As a father, siyempre, ayokong ginaganyan ang anak ko. Parang nababastos. After the party, I saw some messages sa Facebook that I didn’t like. But what really hurt me when we went home, he called my daughter on the phone and said something—nasty words, hurtful words.”


Ayon pa sa panayam kay Michael kinuwento nito ang buong pangyayari. “I went to the house, ang dami niyang sinasabi, sa sobrang galit ko, nanghahamon siya. What I did, he asked for it, he got it. That’s simple. ‘Yon ang gusto niya. Ilang times na gigisingin niya kami sa gabi, kaya he deserved what he did, and he’s trying to twist the story.”


Nagbigay pa ito ng mensahe kay Baron; “Alam mo, Baron, you deserve what you deserve! I don’t regret sa ginawa ko dahil sumosobra ka na. Sumosobra ka na, hindi na tama yung ginagawa mo. If you won’t listen to family, who else?”


“You were the one who unleashed the beast of anger, of wrath in me because of what you said to Marge, and never, never do anything towards her or to my family ‘coz if you do, hindi pa tapos", dagdag pa nito.


“Kung ang pamilya ang involved dito, Baron, kakasuhan kita. Ganoon na lang, hindi pa ako tapos sa ’yo kaya you stop spreading lies sa Facebook o sa media.” Bilang pagtatapos na mensahe nito.
