Lack of law vs political dynasty allows Sara to run for president in 2022–Carpio
The opposition coalition 1Sambayan expressed regret over the lack of a law prohibiting political dynasties, especially with the possibility of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte running for president in 2022.
Sara Duterte topped a recent Pulse Asia survey on potential presidential successors, following her openness to a presidential bid and consultations with political leaders.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio, a 1Sambayan convenor, stated that while anyone qualified can run for president, the Constitution's anti-dynasty provision should prevent family members from holding successive positions.
Carpio believes it would be the "height of a political dynasty" if President Duterte were to endorse his daughter as his successor.
