On a night his ex-Cabinet members serenaded him for the first time since stepping down from Malacañang, former President Rodrigo Duterte, despite his self-confessed failing health, did not disappoint.
In a reunion dubbed "Night of the Singing Ex-Cabinet Members," Duterte returned the favor by singing his favorite George Canseco song, Ikaw which he had rendered in both public and private gatherings before during his presidency.

The crowd at Dusit Thani's RJ Bistro erupted into a frenzy amid chants of "Duterte! Duterte!" even as the 77-year-old former president turned nostalgic and recalled the times he had with officials of his administration who organized the gathering.

"This is about a reunion of those men and women who were with me in my journey to the presidency for six years. As there is always a time for everything. A time to start, (and also) a time to retire," he said.
