Sara seriously considering 2028 run for presidency
The Philippine Star
|January 14, 2025
Vice President Sara Duterte is "seriously considering" running for president in 2028, saying she could not take sitting down the "continued backsliding" of the country.
"We are seriously considering," Duterte told overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Tokyo during a meet-and-greet event as part of her "private" trip to Japan over the weekend.
"What's happening to the country now can no longer continue. We see the country continuously backsliding. I really believe our country can be great,” she said when asked about her plans for 2028.
The Vice President’s statement was a change of tune from her previous remarks when asked about her political plans.
During her last public engagement last year, she reiterated that she would decide in 2026 whether she would run for the presidency in 2028.
While she was already considering throwing her hat into the 2028 presidential race, Duterte acknowledged how tough government reforms could be.
“It is difficult to make our countrymen understand how difficult the things we have to do are because we really have to stand firm, especially with government policies that need fixing,” she said.
“But I believe that if the people are united, that we know where we are going, our people can do it,” she added.
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) said Duterte went to Japan over the weekend on a “private trip,” during which she also paid a visit to various OFW groups.
While the OVP did not say when she returned, it said that she has been back in Manila.
Sara thanks INC
Meanwhile, Duterte yesterday thanked the members of the Iglesia ni Cristo for the church’s rally for peace, intended to drum up support for President Marcos’ call last year not to proceed with the impeachment of his former runningmate.
