DAVAO CITY – On the night of February 25, 1986, when the dictator Ferdinand Edralin Marcos was ousted by People Power and flown out of Malacanang with his family, hundreds of kilometers down south, Fiscal Rodrigo Roa Duterte, who was turning 41 the following month, woke up his children Paolo and Sara to join fellow Dabawenyos and the rest of the nation in celebrating their first night of freedom.
Six years later, Nanay Soling’s son, the outgoing President of the Philippines, the sixth post-EDSA President, would step down on June 30, 2022 without attending any of the six EDSA People Power anniversary celebrations during his term. The Duterte patriarch did not hide his displeasure that Sara ran for Vice President when she was leading the surveys for President. He criticized Marcos as a “weak leader” and since the filing of certificates of candidacy in October, had not endorsed, publicly, his own choice for President. .
“Nagtataka ako. Siya number one sa survey. Bakit sya pumayag na tatakbo lang ng Bise?” Duterte asked. His daughter Sara and sons Paolo and Sebastian, however, appear to be very much impressed with Marcos, Jr. Sebastian is incumbent vice mayor who was certain of reelection as he ran unopposed. But he had to withdraw his candidacy to substitute for his sister, who withdrew from the mayoralty race to run for Vice President.
Speaking before local government officials in a Sulong Pilipinas conference in Makati City on October 4, 2016, Duterte said that during the campaign for the Presidency, he had no barangay captain, no representative supporting him, and no money. “Wala akong barangay captain, wala akong congressman, wala akong pera. Si Imee pa ang nagbigay. Sabi niya inutang daw niya. Si Imee supported me.”Vice Presidential bet Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.
