President Rodrigo Duterte will be celebrating the Christmas day in his hometown in Davao City.

Malacañang said that Duterte is now in Davao with his family. No plans yet if Duterte will spend the new year in his hometown.

On Monday, the President talked about the importance of spending time with family this Christmas.

“Mga kababayan ko malapit na ang Pasko kaya ako naman nandito sa Davao because alam ninyo na taga-Davao ako at dito ‘yung pamilya ko,” Duterte said.

“Tradisyon naman sa Pilipino ‘yan o sa lahat na you have to be with your family — birthdays, mga events sa buhay ng tao na may significance sa family,” he added. (TDT)
