PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte will run against his daughter Davao City Mayor Sara for the vice presidency in next year’s elections, said Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.
Andanar said Duterte plans to file his candidacy on Monday, November 15, the last day to finalize bids for the 2022 polls.
Duterte is set to clash with his daughter Sara, who earlier filed her COC for vice president under Lakas-CMD.
On Saturday, Duterte accompanied Senator Christopher “Bong” Go to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) office in Manila when Go filed his candidacy as president under the party Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan (PDDS).
“On Monday, babalik si Presidente dito sa Comelec para mag-file . . . for vice-president. Abangan natin ang sunod na kabanata. We all know that this is a developing story. Abangan na lang natin and let’s wait for them to finish,” Andanar told reporters at the Comelec office.
Duterte-Carpio will run under Lakas-CMD.
The President in early October said he would retire from politics, after turning down PDP-Laban’s nomination to pursue the vice presidency.
