Duterte not yet saying no to possible VP run in Eleksyon 2022 —Palace
President Rodrigo Duterte has not yet decided whether to run for vice president in the 2022 elections, with Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque stating that the President is not saying no to the possibility.
Roque explained that while Duterte has expressed reluctance, he has not definitively rejected the idea, echoing the stance of his political party, PDP-Laban.
The PDP-Laban party has urged Duterte, as its chairman, to run for vice president and select the party's presidential candidate.
According to Roque, there are no legal impediments for Duterte to file a last-minute vice presidential candidacy, similar to his 2016 presidential bid.
Public support exists for Duterte to potentially team up with his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, or Senator Christopher Lawrence Go.
