Sebastian ‘Baste’ Duterte’s viral public challenge against police chief Nicolas Torre fizzled into farce after he left the country
As the referee counted to 10 before the 4,000 or so attendees, Torre was declared the winner by default.
The much-anticipated contest was born of the younger Duterte, 37, using his podcast on July 20 to mock Torre, 55 – a long-time target of Duterte family ire – and issue a challenge.
“You’re only brave because you have the position. But in a fist-fight, I can take you on. It’s that simple,” Duterte snarled, in remarks that quickly went viral. “You’re a coward, you’re nothing without your position.”
