Condo-complex in Davao to serve as Duterte's temporary ‘Malacañang’

 

Presumptive president Rodrigo "Rody" Duterte will soon be taking on big decisions for the country and while he's busy assembling his Cabinet, construction is also underway for the "Malacañang of the South" along Claro M. Recto Street in Davao City.

The private "condo-complex" Matina Enclaves Residences is being fashioned to serve as Duterte's office while President Benigno Aquino III serves out his term.

Its first function would be the venue of a press conference on Monday, which also marks Duterte's first public appearance after all other candidates for the presidency conceded.

As of May 15, 5:45 p.m., Duterte maintains a lead of over 6 million votes based on the partial and unofficial tally from the Commission on Elections' transparency servers.

The nation is still waiting for Duterte's official proclamation as the winner in this year's presidential elections, but according to a report by GMA News reporter Ian Cruz for 24 Oras Weekend, the Presidential Security Group is already coordinating with the mayor's staff for his security arrangements. — APG, GMA News
