A Different Kind of Bond in Detention

Now, during his detention, she appreciates the moments when he is just a regular dad, free from the roles of mayor or president. “We thank him for the time that we have with him in the detention center where he is just a regular, normal human being and not the mayor or the president,” she shared.
Honoring Fathers and Father Figures Nationwide
In an official statement released by the Office of the Vice President, Sara Duterte extended her gratitude to all fathers and father figures for their unwavering dedication. She praised their resilience and the vital role they play in shaping responsible and disciplined children.
“Maraming salamat sa inyong katatagan na siyang pundasyon na nagbibigay ng seguridad, katiwasayan, at daan para maging responsable, disiplinado, at produktibong indibidwal ang mga anak,” she said, highlighting the foundational strength fathers provide to their families.
Her message also acknowledged the sacrifices fathers make, which serve as powerful examples to inspire the younger generation. “Ang inyong pagsisikap ay nagpapaalala sa amin ng inyong dalamhati at pagmamahal sa pamilya. At ito rin ang nagiging magandang halimbawa na nagbibigay ng inspirasyon sa mga kabataan,” Vice President Duterte explained.
Wishes for Fathers’ Success and Strength
The Vice President concluded her message by encouraging fathers who tirelessly support their families despite hardships. “Sa bawat ama na patuloy na lumalaban, naglilingkod, at walang pagod na itinataguyod ang pamilya sa kabila ng hirap — hangad ko ang inyong tagumpay,” she said, wishing them continued success and strength.
