The presidential palace is challenging former President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter, Sara Duterte, regarding her claim of ownership over the People’s Ville housing project in Davao City. Malacañang has presented documents from 2023 and 2024 to support its contention that the project timelines and origins do not align with Duterte’s assertions. This dispute marks a growing tension between the Marcos administration and the Dutertes. Details pertaining to the project’s funding and initial planning stages are currently under scrutiny. The palace aims to clarify the project's history and its actual proponents. This challenge suggests a possible political motive behind the dispute, as relations have been strained since Sara Duterte resigned from her cabinet position. Further investigation is expected to reveal the complete picture of the People’s Ville project’s origins.
