Duterte’s Long-Time Partner Honeylet Avanceña Joins Campaign Rally for PDP-Laban Bets
HONEYLET AVANCEÑA – The long-time partner of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte called on the Filipinos to choose good and honest people to lead the Philippines.
Former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte is detained in The Hague, Netherlands for more than a month now. He was arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP) authorities last March 11 and was flown to The Hague via Dubai.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte immediately flew to The Hague, Netherlands for former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte. She finalized the legal team of the former President for his legal battle before the International Criminal Court (ICC) before returning to the country last month.
Ahead of the 80th birthday of former Pres. Duterte last March 28, his long-time partner, Honeylet Avanceña, and their daughter, Kitty Duterte, arrived in the Hague. They stayed until a little after Kitty’s birthday.
Both Honeylet Avanceña and Kitty Duterte are now back in the Philippines for the matters that they have to attend to. It is Davao City First District Congressman Paolo Duterte who is currently in The Hague for the former President.
Amid the 2025 Elections drawing near, the Duterte siblings committed to campaign fervently for the PDP-Laban candidates. According to Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, it is really their father’s request to campaign for his party’s bets in the upcoming elections.
Based on a post on the Facebook page SMNI Digital, Honeylet Avanceña also joined the campaign rally for the PDP-Laban candidates. At the event, she explained that it is supposedly only Kitty Duterte who will talk but she was also asked to give a message. She stressed that the recent turn of events forced her daughter to think ahead of her age.
“Dapat ‘yung anak ko lang ang magsasalita eh. Sabi ko, ‘Ano bang gustong marinig niyo? ‘Yung lahat ng sakit sa dibdib?’ Yung anak ko, baby pa sana pero napilitan mag-mature dahil sa nangyari. Hindi naman ho natin maipagkait kung ano nangyari,” Duterte’s common-law wife said.
Honeylet Avanceña called on the Filipinos to elect leaders who are good and honest. She told the Filipinos to choose the ones who will serve the Philippines and not their own personal interests.
“Pero ito ho talaga, sana ho tayo Pilipino, magtanda na tayo. Gusto na akong lumuhod, umiyak dito, magtanda na tayo. Pumili na tayo ng mga taong matino, matapat, at ‘yung magsisilbi sa bayan. Hindi pagsisilbihan ang sarili,” she said based on the post.
The other Duterte family members also fervently campaign for the PDP-Laban bets. At a campaign sortie, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte even sang to Barry Manilow’s hit song Somewhere Down the Road.
