DAVAO CITY—Thousands of people swarm the road leading to the ancestral house of President Duterte for the yearly pinaskuhan (gift-giving) here. Before, we used to get five kilos of rice, now it’s down to two kilos and some canned goods . That’s because before, they were only giving it out to people in Davao City only,” she said. Police, however, were closely watching some people who already received then gifts but who kept coming back for more. Aside from the two kilos of rice, each person also received several canned goods, P150 cash and some gift certificates.
