This day reminds us of the birth of a savior who exemplified the true meaning of love, grace and selflessness to the world,” Duterte said. The President has 10 grandchildren with his children – Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio and sons Paolo and Sebastian – with his first wife Elizabeth Zimmerman. Duterte also has a child, named Veronica or Kitty, with his partner Cielito “Honeylet” Avanceña, who is also based in Davao City. Meanwhile, the President is expected to visit the sick children, especially those afflicted with cancer and are confined at the Southern Philippines Medical Center in Davao City on Christmas Day. It has been Duterte’s tradition to visit and distribute Christmas gifts to cancer-stricken children when he was still Davao City mayor.
