MANILA — Touted as a strong contender for the 2025 Senate race based on recent surveys, Davao City’s 1st District Representative Paolo “Pulong” Zimmerman Duterte has bagged the prestigious “Leadership Achiever as Public Servant” award at the Elite Business & Leadership Awards in Manila.
The son of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has expressed his gratitude to the award-giving body, saying that his award was a “shared success” for Davaoeños and the Filipino people.
“This is for Dabawenyos and the Filipino people who have put their trust and confidence in our public service. This signifies the effectiveness of our partnership with our local and national leaders as we bring our programs and services closer to Filipino families,” the young Duterte said.
He added that the recognition of his office’s work is not their end goal; rather, it is the improvement of the lives of the Filipinos they serve.
Maharlika NuMedia gathered that it was the Elite Business & Leadership Awards that honors and acknowledges the distinctive, dedicated, and genuine leadership of accomplished leaders globally, providing them with a professional boost to strengthen their influence.
The Triumph International Events Innovation and Marketing Co. Inc. was also behind the “Elite Award.”
It can be recalled that last month, Cong Pulong was also honored as the “Honorary Congressman of the Year” at the Nation Builders and Mosliv Awards ceremony in Manila.
The “senatoriable” Duterte received recognition for crafting several legislative measures that have made significant contributions to the country’s sustainable development.
