In making the announcement, Duterte stunned members of the city of council of Davao City which was meeting just after ferocious blaze devoured a mall and killed more than three dozen people over the weekend. "I hereby tender my resignation as vice mayor of Davao City today December 25, 2017," Duterte, the eldest son of the president, told a surprised city council. She added that Paolo's staff would be transferred to the Office of the City Mayor. The vice mayor took to Facebook to answer his daughter's post, saying that she did not know how to respect, and she was a "disgrace." Despite the resignation, the Dutertes will still maintain their domination of Davao City politics as the town's mayor would still be his sister, Duterte-Carpio.
