Duterte-Duterte not a political dynasty because Sara will not let it happen - HNP spokesman
Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) official Anthony del Rosario stated that a potential tandem of President Rodrigo Duterte and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte in the 2022 elections would not constitute a political dynasty.
Del Rosario asserted that the electoral process allows citizens to vote for their preferred candidates, thus negating concerns about political dynasties.
He emphasized that each candidate is voted on independently during national elections.
The HNP official suggested that if President Duterte's governance has been satisfactory, voters might desire its continuation, potentially through his daughter's candidacy.
However, Del Rosario clarified that a Duterte-Duterte tandem will simply not happen.
He added that after all, there is an electoral process, and everybody is free to vote for whoever candidate they vote for.
