The former Senate President is one of his grandsons. He hails from Cebu and in a twist of fate, the name Duterte also appears in his personal history. Filemon was romantically involved in 1909 with Remedios Duterte, a local beauty queen. This was a time when having children out of wedlock was clearly looked down in society. Filemon had two children by Duterte. The first child, a son, died in infancy. Remedios, however, bore another child, a daughter who was named after Filemon’s mother Pascuala.
THE MAN BEHIND THE EMPOWERED PINAY Filemon Sotto was a political heavyweight instrumental in crafting the 1935 Constitution This singular act opened the floodgates of the participation of women in government and business. It culminated in the election of Corazon Aquino 49 years later as the first woman president of the Philippines. So one can say that if not for Senator Sotto, Cory would not have become president. There are other political and business luminaries that came forward, I would lose space if I were to mention all these super women.
It was a herculean and downright tiring task. After work in an office or business, she comes home to take care of the food of the children and the schooling needs. One cannot imagine where women get all the energy to do all these things.
