Presidential son Sebastian “Baste” Duterte will feature the world-renowned dive destination Apo Island in Negros Oriental and the nearby province of Siquijor in his travel show on a national TV network.
Baste Duterte, the youngest son of President Duterte by his former wife, Elizabeth Zimmerman, sailed to Apo Island from Dauin Friday morning along with his TV crew.
While in Apo Island, he got a first-hand experience of swimming with the sea turtles and saw the vast marine biodiversity.
Apo Island is a protected landscape and seascape and is popular not just for scuba diving and snorkeling but also because of its remarkable community-based resource management program.
He arrived at the Dumaguete-Sibulan airport Thursday afternoon and went to Zamboanguita, a town in the south, where he jammed with some musicians there before returning to Dumaguete where he stayed overnight at a local hotel.
