Kana iyang balay, mao daw na ang iyang unang balay, ug dili gyud siya gusto nga ibaligya na (Tinanong namin siya kung ibebenta raw ba ang bahay, hindi raw talaga. Ang bahay raw na yan ay ang pinakauna niyang bahay, at ayaw niya talagang ibenta na.),” Rep. Duterte said during an interview with the Alvin &amp; Tourism Facebook Page.</p><p>He also clarified that the house in question is different from the property of Honeylet Avanceña, Duterte’s longtime partner.</p><p>“Kang Ma’am Honeylet, naa man daw siya’y kaugalingong dako nga balay. Dili kana nga balay iyang ginapuy-an (Ang kay Ma&#x27;am Honeylet, mayroon daw siyang sariling malaking bahay. Hindi yan na bahay na kanyang tinitirhan),” Pulong added, further dispelling rumors of any internal family dispute over property.</p><p>Despite facing serious charges before the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity, Rep. Duterte assured the public that his father remains in good health and high spirits.</p><p>“Okay man siya. Karon, tarong iyang… sige’g pakatawa (Okay naman siya. Ngayon, mabuti ang kanyang... lagi siyang nagpapatawa),” Pulong said.</p><p>He also conveyed Duterte’s message to the Filipino people: “Pasalamat gihapon siya sa inyong suporta. Ayaw na daw siya kaayo problemaha, kay kung mao gyud daw na iyang destiny, mao na gyud daw na (Nagpapasalamat pa rin siya sa inyong suporta. Huwag niyo na raw siyang problemahin masyado dahil kung yun na raw talaga ang kanyang destiny, yun na yon).”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XBvxdcO9BUw?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
