**WHO IS LT. RAVEN SNAPPER? The Kateyki Bodyguard of VP Sara Duterte Who Thrilled the Entire Philippines!**
Amidst the heated debate about the ICC and the imprisonment of former President Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague, Netherlands, a new star has risen to prominence on social media. This is not a celebrity or a politician, but a man who has always been behind Vice President Sara Duterte – **Lt. Raven Snapper**! His face, which had been hidden under a mask for months, suddenly appeared, and boom! He immediately went viral. Netizens, especially women and the LGBTQ+ community, are going wild: “You’re so handsome sir!”, “Oppa yarn?”, “Super yummy!” – comments that are innumerable. But who exactly is this man who fans call **Kateyki**? Why is he the one causing all the fuss now? And why is he Inday Sara’s most trusted close-in security?
Lt. Raven Snapper is no ordinary bodyguard. He is a 30-year-old Philippine Navy officer, from the Cordillera Administrative Region in Luzon. He is no ordinary man – he is a **top of the class graduate** of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Sinaglahi Batch 2015! After PMA, the government even sent him to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, where he became **top class** again as a midshipman in 2016. Imagine that: a Filipino Navy officer who studied at the most prestigious naval academy in the world! He is not only handsome, he is **elite** – a trained marksman, sharpshooter, sniper, and martial arts expert. In short, Lt. Raven is one of the most dangerous people in the country when protection is needed.
But the most compelling part of the story? Lt. Raven is VP Sara Duterte’s **second cousin**! Yes, you read that right – he has Duterte blood! When Inday Sara became Vice President, she personally requested that Lt. Raven be placed in the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group (VPSPG). And since then, he has always been with her: at official events, on trips, and even on an important visit to the Netherlands to support her father at the ICC. In videos and photos, he can be seen standing firmly behind VP Sara, looking serious but with a unique charm that netizens cannot miss.
Why is she called **Kateyki**? This comes from fans expressing their excitement over her Chinese, tall, and muscular body. In TikTok and Facebook posts, there are videos of her being celebrated by fans: “Kateyki, I’m crushing on her!”, “Oppa, protect me too!” Even straight women couldn’t help but say: “Why is Inday Sara’s bodyguard so handsome? I hope everyone is like this!” And the most insistent beauty? There are rumors that Lt. Raven is **single** and from a wealthy family. He has three siblings, all of whom are Navy officers, and he is the youngest. Imagine: a man with Duterte blood, an elite military background, and handsome – like he’s straight from a teleserye!
During VP Sara’s visit to The Hague in March 2025, while the world focused on the former President’s case, Lt. Raven was the highlight. Behind the scenes at press briefings, she would be seen alert, in a suit, and looking ready for any threat. But instead of talking about politics, netizens focused on her. “While we were stressed out about Tatay D, Kateyki calmed us down!” said one viral post. Some even compared her to David Licauco or Joshua Garcia – “She’s even more handsome!” said others. And yes, there were those who declared their love: “Kateyki, let’s get married!” – even though we know it’s impossible, the thrill was real!
But Lt. Raven is not just handsome. He is **loyal** and **dedicated**. Amidst the controversy surrounding VP Sara’s security – such as the withdrawal of several bodyguards in 2024 – Lt. Raven has remained steadfast. He is Inday Sara’s **most trusted**, and there is no doubt that he is willing to risk his life for her. There are even stories that he is a **Code-1** lieutenant, meaning one of the most senior in his unit, and is waiting to be promoted to Lieutenant Commander. With his background as a sniper and elite forces member, he is not just protection – he is a **living weapon**.
His virality also shed light on dark news. While the country is politically divided, Lt. Raven’s story has brought a little joy and excitement. Some even hope that he will enter showbiz: “I hope he joins Pinoy Big Brother!” or “Movie star material!” But for him, the mission is clear: protect VP Sara, and support the Duterte family in any way possible.
In the end, Lt. Raven Snapper is not just a bodyguard. He is a symbol of courage, handsomeness, and loyalty. In a world of politics filled with drama and controversy, he is the one who gave a new story that makes many smile. Who would have thought that a simple photo behind VP Sara would have such a big impact?
