President Duterte’s simple New Year’s feast in his Davao City house

It seems that despite of the problems that he encountered last year, especially the two tragedies struck Davao last month, it didn’t stopped the President to enjoy the new year celebration.

The President became famous for his simple lifestyle that until he still practiced even he was elected as the highest official in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, the people outside President Rodrigo Duterte’s house celebrated the new year without using any dangerous firecrackers.

Dabawenyos only used ‘torotots’ to welcome the 2018 while doing ‘budots’ a dance originated in Davao City.

Davao City is known for being ‘firecracker’ free since President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the ban of this practice 17 years ago.

Duterte instead, formed a celebration called ‘torotot’ festival to encourage his people to use hornpipe to make the new year celebration loud despite of the absence of firecrackers.
