Former president Rodrigo Duterte and his children are free to seek any electoral post in the coming elections, but the “real situation” will emerge only after the filing of certificates of candidacy in October, President Marcos said yesterday.

“Besides, it’s still early. We really won’t know any of these things. We’re talking about 2028. A lot will happen between now and 2028,” he added. The President noted that Duterte came to the UniTeam as a candidate of Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, but eventually left the party. However, the parties that were aligned with UniTeam in 2022 are still with the coalition, he added.
In 2021, Duterte announced that she would seek the vice presidency and filed as a substitute candidate for Lakas. Last year, Duterte resigned from the party after her ally, former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was demoted from senior deputy speaker to deputy speaker of the House of Representatives.“The UniTeam was a tandem during the 2022 elections.
Asked if it was “too much” for the Duterte family to field three members in the Senate race, Dela Rosa said that national politics has always been a family affair. “Anybody can form a ticket against the Dutertes. They can talk if they want, nothing can stop them,” Dela Rosa said.
