DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Acting Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte has requested to reschedule a charity boxing match against Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III, originally set for Sunday, July 27.
Duterte announced in a Facebook video on Saturday that he has prior commitments on Sunday. Duterte stated, “I cannot be there on Sunday.
I have other things to do. But Tuesday, I’m available. Tuesday, Wednesday, but not Sunday.” He proposed alternative dates, saying, “Tuesday, Wednesday, or any other day.”
Duterte suggested the rescheduling could be beneficial, giving Torre additional time to practice for the match.
