A year into the Marcos administration, Vice President Sara Duterte reveals two sides of her – the motherly DepEd chief and the tough-talking politician.
BERLIN, Germany – In 2018, then-president Rodrigo Duterte gave his personal insight into the capabilities of his daughter, who was Davao City mayor at the time.
Observers believe that Inday’s youth – she is 45 – would help her in a widely anticipated presidential bid in 2028. On top of that, of course, is her popularity. Based on surveys, she is the most appreciated and trusted public official in the land. Political analyst and Ateneo de Manila University professor Arjan Aguirre said that Sara’s resignation from Lakas-CMD was a “declaration of war.”
Aguirre observed that this is apparently part of a Sara Duterte strategy to not overshadow the President, who also has his strong mass base. This also explains her “careful dealings” with the Marcos administration.
