All these years, the home of the popular Davao City mayor remains simple. He opens its doors to us.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines – We got in Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte's black pick-up truck before sunrise on Wednesday, September 30.
Classical music was playing on the sound system. His driver of 11 years, Romerico, asked, "Where to, boss?"
After a night in his favorite restaurant and bar, Duterte took me and fellow Rappler reporter Editha Caduaya to his home inside a government housing compound he started decades ago.
Through these photos, take a tour of the house he shares with one of the women in his life and their young daughter.
