Former President Rodrigo Duterte was absent at the 52nd Conferment of Datu Bago Awards on Wednesday evening, March 13, 2024. Councilor Pilar Braga confirmed in her speech that Duterte would not be able to attend this year's Datu Bago Awards due to attending to a friend in need. She said, 'He would sacrifice his own pain and glory, moments, such as this moment, to rush to a friend in need, thus, his absence tonight.
' However, she did not specify the identity of the 'friend' Duterte needed to attend to. Braga mentioned Duterte's history of declining awards, even during his tenure as mayor of Davao City, preferring to serve the people as their public servant. 'Most of us know that during his long stint as City Mayor, he has refused to receive any award or recognition for himself,' she said. 'Humbly always saying that he is only doing his job and he should not be rewarded for doing it well because people, especially in public service, must always do their job well.' Despite his absence, Braga said Duterte would still be given the Datu Bago Award, whether he likes it or not
