VERONICA “Kitty” Duterte, youngest daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, shared an update on her father’s health, revealing that while he remains physically well, he sometimes struggles mentally.
In an Instagram Story, Kitty responded to a question about the former president’s condition, saying, “Physically speaking he is in good shape — especially for an 80-year-old with as many organic issues as he has.”
She added, “Mentally speaking he struggles a bit from time to time. Of course he is sad when he thinks about you. But it is noticeable that for you he has extreme and deep love.”
The former chief executive is currently in The Hague, Netherlands, in connection with proceedings at the International Criminal Court over alleged crimes against humanity linked to his controversial war on drugs.
