Duterte Fuels Rumours That His Daughter Will Run For President

MANILA Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter will run for president in the 2022 election and her father’s long-time aide, who has filed his vice-presidential candidacy, will be her running mate, ABS-CBN news reported.

Mrs Sara Duterte-Carpio is Mayor of Davao, the Philippines’ third-largest city, and on Saturday filed her candidacy to run again for the post. She has previously said she would not run for national office next year.

ABS-CBN news based its report on an interview that Mr Duterte had with a broadcast journalist right after he announced that he was retiring from politics on Saturday, while accompanying his closest loyalist, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, to file his vice-presidential candidacy.

He was asked: “So is it clear, Sara-Go?” “It is S ara-Go,” Mr Duterte said in response.
