ICYMI: Malacañang claimed it could not be called political dynasty should Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio decides to throw her hat for president in the 2022 national elections.
“If Mayor Sara runs, it will be against the wishes of her father, and I don’t call this a dynasty because clearly, the President , ‘I don’t want the mess of the presidency on my family.’ But if so decides then it’s up to the electorate. And I don’t think we can accuse the Duterte family of perpetuating themselves in power, because the President has made it clear, ‘I don’t want the presidency for Mayor Sara’,” he added.
In January this year, Duterte said that his daughter is not running for president, reiterating that he had cautioned the Davao City mayor against seeking the presidency. However, the presidential daughter’s name recently floated as a possible candidate for the president’s post in the 2022 elections after Albay Rep.
said that there is “no doubt” in his mind Duterte-Carpio will run for the highest government post in the national elections next year.
