Videos circulating on social media showed Duterte, despite being under tight security, getting surrounded by mallgoers.

The President granted “selfies” with some mallgoers and even talked to some of them.

This was not the first time Duterte dropped by a mall to stroll and shop. In December 2017, he also went to Greenbelt to buy a bag.
