He is known as the tough-talking President of the Philippines, the brave man who is ready to pin down criminals especially those into illegal drugs, and of course the brusque public servant ready to lash out his critics.
But behind this abrupt image is a loving Rodrigo Duterte to his family and the “best lolo ever” to his grandkids. The President’s soft side which is very rare to catch was recently caught on cam after Duterte attended his granddaughter, Isabelle’s high school graduation rites.
On Thursday, daughter of resigned Davao City Mayor Paolo Duterte attended the graduation rites of San Beda College-Alabang at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) where she was accompanied by her ever supportive lolo Digong.
In a video uploaded by Bing Regalado, the 18-year-old lady was seen getting affectionate to her high-profile grandfather as she have her lolo a hug and a kiss after getting her diploma on the stage.
Meanwhile, in a photo uploaded by San Beda College’s official Facebook page, the Duterte patriarch was seen accompanied by Special Assistant to the President Christopher “Bong” Go.
The eldest among Duterte grandkids first made an impact to netizens when photos of her debutante pictorial inside the premises of the Malacañang Palace went viral on social media.
The series of photos of Isabelle wearing designer gowns also receive lash from netizen especially in one particular photo where she was posing showing off the presidential seal in the background.
Her lavish debut celebration at The Peninsula Manila was held last January also gained criticism on the part of her grandfather who is known for having a simple lifestyle.
