MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to attend the 124th Independence Day rites at Rizal Park in Manila and two other events on Sunday.

 

While it will be his last Independence Day as chief executive, it will also be the first time Duterte will celebrate the occasion at Rizal Park.

 

He was supposed to commemorate his first Independence Day as president at the historic park in 2017 but decided to skip the event on the same day because he was not feeling well. In 2018, Duterte celebrated Independence Day in Kawit, Cavite, where he was heckled by young activists who accused him of being a "traitor."
