Philippines' DAVAO CITY - Rodrigo Duterte, the mayor of Davao City, truly means it when he says he is not corrupt.
The well-liked mayor of Davao gave Rappler reporter Pia Ranada a tour of his modest residence, which is housed inside a government housing compound he himself started in the 1990s, as evidence of his spotless record.
The images, which can be viewed on Rappler, depict a basic two-story home devoid of the normal trappings one would typically see among prominent politicians.
Everything in the Duterte home is plain and modest, with the exception of his big shoe collection, which he said was the only thing he had in common with former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
Duterte's marriage to his first wife was annulled, and he now resides with Honeylet, a nurse, and their daughter Veronica, who they call "Kitty."
The only notable sight outside his home is the well-known cab that he drives to police the city at night. The mayor can sneak through Davao's streets in the car, which his buddies gave to him years ago.
As might be expected, pictures of Duterte's modest home have received a ton of plaudits from the online community, with the majority stating they provide unmistakable evidence that he is not corrupt.
The mayor has said that his austere lifestyle is the reason he has never been accused of corruption.
Duterte has governed his city for almost three decades and is known as "The Punisher" owing to his strict approach to crime and direct manner of administration.
Conclusion
After the People Power Revolution of 1986, he was named the interim vice mayor of the city. He then competed for and was elected mayor in 1988, holding the position until 1998.
Due to term limits, Duterte ran for and was elected to the position of congressman for Davao City's first district before vying for and was elected to the position of mayor once more in 2001, 2004 and 2007.
