Rodrigo “Rigo” Duterte II, son of Davao City First District Representative Paolo Duterte, has filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) for the 2025 national and local elections on the second day of filing on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.

Rigo is running for councilor in the First District under the Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod - Hugpong ng Pagbabago.

He was accompanied by his father, his wife, and his brother, Barangay Buhangin chairman Omar Duterte.

“Matabangan ang atong mga kaigsuonang Dabawenyo,” Rigo said.

Paolo said the Duterte family is still discussing his plan for the election.

“Wala pa ko kabalo kay sa pagkakaron… ang akong asawa ug akong duha ka anak, murag di na man ganahan nga mulansar ko kay tungod aning gubot lagi anang administrasyon against sa mga Duterte,” Paolo said.
