Duterte, known for his stinging language when talking about his campaign against illegal drugs and corruption, has been vocal about his love for his children and family.

The President usually injects anecdotes about his other children - Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte, and Sebastian "Baste" Duterte - in his speeches.

Last year, he publicly called out Baste for not coming home to see his children, and asked his youngest son to be a better father.
