Sebastian "Baste" Zimmerman Duterte (Tagalog pronunciation: [dʊˈtɛɾtɛ]; born November 3, 1987) is a Filipino politician who is the vice mayor of Davao City since 2019. He is the second son of President Rodrigo Duterte,[1] and his sister, Sara, is the incumbent mayor of Davao City.[2]

Early life and education[]

Duterte was born on November 3, 1987, in Davao City. He is the youngest son of President Rodrigo Duterte and Elizabeth Zimmerman, a Filipina flight-attendant of Filipino and German Jewish descent. His brother, Paolo, is the incumbent representative of Davao City's first district, and his sister is mayor.[2]

Duterte obtained his high school diploma at San Beda University. He studied political science at Ateneo de Davao University.[3]

Political career[]

In 2019, Duterte ran unopposed for vice mayor of Davao City with his sister and incumbent mayor, Sara, as his running mate under the Hugpong ng Pagbabago ticket.[4][5] The siblings won the election.[6] He has been appointed "acting mayor" of the city twice: from July 19 to September 17, 2019; and from September 28 to October 5, 2020.[7][8]

On November 9, 2021, Duterte has decided to withdraw his re-election bid.[9] He named Melchor Quitain Jr., Davao City's 1st district councilor and son of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Jesus Melchor Quitain, as his substitute for vice mayor.[10] He then ran for mayor, substituting his sister Sara,[11] who would later run for vice president.[12]
