Throwback: Duterte then and now

This picture of a much younger President Rodrigo Duterte proves that there was a time in his life when he could have given his son, Baste Duterte, serious competition in the looks department.

There are no other details about the photo, but Duterte appears to be in his late teens or early 20s.

One photographer who has tons of photos of the president is seasoned photojournalist Rene B. Lumawag, who covered Duterte while he was Davao City mayor for 22 years.

His photos are currently on display at Abreeza Ayala Mall in Davao, in an exhibition titled “Rody Duterte: Through The Years.”

Here’s a sneak preview.

But if you can’t hop on a flight to Davao, here’s the next best thing, Lumawag’s website.
