Sebastian "Baste" Zimmerman Duterte (/dəˈtɜːrteɪ/, [dʊˈtɛɾtɛ]; born November 3, 1987) is a Filipino businessman and politician who has served as the 22nd mayor of Davao City since 2022. Following the 2025 elections, which he initially won as vice mayor, he served as acting mayor until officially assuming the post permanently in 2026. He previously served as the vice mayor of Davao City from 2019 to 2022.

The youngest son of the 16th president and former Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and his former wife Elizabeth Zimmerman, Duterte entered politics in 2019, having run for vice mayor unopposed. After his sister Sara, then the mayor of Davao, ran for vice president, he substituted for her in that year's election, winning in a landslide. After his father sought a return to the city's mayoralty, he ran as his running mate and won. Due to the continued detention of his father at The Hague and subsequent inability to take the oath of office, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) designated him as acting mayor. On January 23, 2026, Duterte officially became the permanent mayor.[1][2][3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Duterte was born on November 3, 1987, in Davao City. He is the youngest son of 16th President Rodrigo Duterte and Elizabeth Zimmerman, a Filipina flight-attendant of Filipino and German American descent. His brother, Paolo, is the incumbent representative of Davao City's first district, and his sister Sara is incumbent vice president.[4][5]

Duterte obtained his high school diploma at San Beda College in Manila. He took up legal management at the same college for a year before moving back to Davao, where he took up political science at Ateneo de Davao University.[6]

He was initially offered by his father to run for Davao City councilor in 2013 and representative in 2016, but he declined.[citation needed]

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.[7][8] The siblings won the election.[9] 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.[10][11]

Mayor of Davao City (2022–present)

[edit]

On November 9, 2021, Duterte decided to withdraw his re-election bid for vice mayor.[12] He named J. Melchor "Jay" Quitain Jr., Davao City's first district councilor and son of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Jesus Melchor Quitain, as his substitute.[13] He then ran for mayor as a substitute to his sister Sara,[14] who would later run for vice president.[15] He later won in a landslide victory and assumed office on June 30, 2022.[16][17]

During his tenure as mayor of Davao City, Duterte oversaw efforts to advance digitalization, economic development, and community engagement. His administration introduced the electronic Business One Stop Shop (e-BOSS) to streamline business permits and attracted over ₱1 billion in investments in 2023. Tourism also increased, with 1.3 million arrivals. Key infrastructure projects, including the Davao Public Transport Modernization Project and a new Waste-to-Energy Plant, were initiated.[18]

Duterte was also involved in the Marcos–Duterte rift during the 2024 constitutional reform attempts in the Philippines. On January 28, 2024, he attended the Hakbang ng Maisug prayer rally held in Davao City with his father Rodrigo and sister Sara, which opposed the Marcos administration's Bagong Pilipinas rally in Manila and supported constitutional reforms.[19] During a political forum on the same day, he asked President Bongbong Marcos to resign, accusing him of laziness and incompetence.[20] Although Senator Imee Marcos stated that Duterte later apologized, he clarified that his apology was directed only at the senator "out of pity" and demanded she stop "using him" for political statements.[21][22][23]

On September 5, 2024, Duterte joined Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP), the party chaired by his father Rodrigo Duterte, as its new member and executive vice chairperson.[24][25] It was later announced that he would run for vice mayor once again in 2025, this time as the running mate of his father, who would run for mayor.[26] Following the arrest of his father in March 2025, Duterte condemned the action as a political maneuver by the Marcos administration and even filed a petition with the Supreme Court alongside his siblings to seek the immediate release of their father, arguing the detention violated national sovereignty and due process.[27][28]

Duterte was elected vice mayor in 2025. However, from the start of his term on June 30, 2025, he would serve as acting mayor while his father, Rodrigo Duterte, has yet to take his oath of office as the duly elected city mayor due to his detention at The Hague, Netherlands.[29] In turn, his nephew, 1st district councilor Rodrigo "Rigo" Duterte II, would serve as the acting vice mayor.[30]

On July 20, 2025, Duterte on his Basta Dabawenyo podcast challenged Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Nicolas Torre III, who played a significant role in the arrest of his father Rodrigo, for a fistfight to raise funds for those affected by the southwest monsoon rains.[31] He had also set conditions that Torre must persuade President Bongbong Marcos to mandate hair follicle drug tests for all elected officials. Torre accepted the challenge, confirming that a charity boxing match would take place on July 27 at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila.[32] However, Duterte departed for Singapore on July 25 for a personal trip until July 29, stating it was long planned before the match and his travel clearance was approved by DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla on July 20.[33][34] On July 27, Torre was declared the winner by default in the match after Duterte failed to show up.[35]

On January 23, 2026, Duterte was sworn in as the permanent mayor of Davao City, following his father Rodrigo's failure to take the oath of office within the six-month prescribed period due to his detention at The Hague. By law of succession, the vice mayoralty was also declared vacant and subsequently filled by his nephew, Rigo.[3]

Personal life

[edit]

Duterte is a surfer and often posts images of himself surfing.[36] He launched his own reality travel show Lakbai on TV5 in 2017. He is also the host of the podcast called Basta Dabawenyo since its launch in 2024.[31][37]

Duterte, although unmarried,[38] has three children, two of which are with his long-time live-in partner.[39]
