President's Rodrigo Duterte's youngest son, Sebastian, is unaffected by the criticism of his father, saying it comes with the territory.
The 28-year-old young Duterte, more popularly known as "Baste," said that with over two decades of public service under his father's belt, he and his family is used to critics.
"Not really, it's politics, it's gonna happen. I'm his son for 28 years. We had it coming. Alam niyo naman yun [You know that]," he said.
While not totally unaffected, Baste said the family has learned to live with criticism.
"Of course, maaapektuhan ka naman; it's just that marunong ka lang maging numb [Of course you get affected. It's just that you learn how to get numb]."
Commenting about the loss of his older sister's (Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte) two of three unborn babies, the young Duterte had this to say:
"She's okay, okay naman siya. Yes, she lost the twins but there is still one more so she's resting, she's always resting. Maybe trying to go to work, but not really working araw-araw siguro sa opisina [but not really working in the office everyday]. She needs to be careful to take care of the baby," he said.
At the launch of the art exhibit "Probinsaya," which showcases Mindanao's untold treasures, Baste remained unfazed by misconceptions surrounding Mindanao.
"We are proud. Whatever, you know like kung paano nila kami titignan [how we are seen], we're still Mindanaoans. We're proud of ourselves," he said.
