Early life and education

Duterte was born out of wedlock to 18-year-old Paolo Duterte and Lovelie Sangkola on January 26, 1994. [1] His mother, Lovelie Sangkola, is Muslim, and he was raised in the Islamic faith. [2] Their lot was provided by Sangkola's mother Ina. [3] He has two younger siblings: Rodrigo II ("Rigo", born 1998) and Isabelle (born 2000), [4] [5] as well as two half-siblings: Sabina (born 2006) and Paolo II ("Uno", born 2013). [6] [7]

After Omar's birth, Paolo left the Duterte family for more than five years without telling them about his child, which his father Rodrigo Duterte considered to be "[o]ne of my sad events in my life". [8] Omar's parents would later separate in 2005, with their marriage annulled in a sharia court in 2006. [9]
