Duterte spotted alone

A fan spotted Rodrigo Duterte walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of April 8, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Rodrigo back on the market?

A rep for Rodrigo Duterte was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the politician was splitting hit the internet Thursday (April 9), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Rodrigo’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Duterte spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
