UPDATE: 'For Sale' sign at Duterte ancestral home vanishes amid public concern
The tarpaulin sign that caused a stir among residents by declaring the ancestral home of former President Rodrigo Duterte "For Sale" has disappeared, just a day after its abrupt appearance.
The "For Sale" banner, prominently displayed on the iconic residence on Saturday, sparked widespread surprise and concern across the city.
Many Davaoeños expressed sadness over the potential sale of a house long cherished by the former president, especially given his current situation.
Former President Duterte has been detained in The Hague, Netherlands, for several months, unable to return to his long-time abode.
The property holds significant sentimental and historical value for both the Duterte family and the local community.
The sudden removal of the tarpaulin has only deepened the mystery surrounding the supposed sale.
As of Sunday afternoon, no official explanation has been provided for either the sign's initial display or its subsequent removal.
Meanwhile, TIMES is actively reaching out to the Duterte family for an official statement, seeking clarification on the veracity of the "For Sale" claim and the circumstances behind the removal of the tarpaulin at their ancestral home.
