Early life and education

His brother, Paolo, is the incumbent representative of Davao City's first district, and his sister is mayor.[2]

Political career

In 2019, Duterte ran unopposed for vice mayor of Davao City with his sister and incumbent mayor, Sara, as his running mate under the Hugpong ng Pagbabago ticket.[4][5] The siblings won the election.[6] He has been appointed "acting mayor" of the city twice: from July 19 to September 17, 2019; and from September 28 to October 5, 2020.[7][8]

On November 9, 2021, Duterte has decided to withdraw his re-election bid.[9] He named Melchor Quitain Jr., Davao City's 1st district councilor and son of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Jesus Melchor Quitain, as his substitute for vice mayor.[10] He then ran for mayor, substituting his sister Sara,[11] who would later run for vice president.[12]
