Salceda wants Gatchalian for VP, as Sara Duterte's running mate
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian has expressed his intention to run for vice president, but only if he is the chosen running mate of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.
Albay 2nd District Representative Joey Salceda stated on Thursday, August 5, that Gatchalian is the "most qualified" to be the Philippines' next vice president and should be Duterte-Carpio's running mate.
Salceda believes Gatchalian would be a great asset to a president due to his strong understanding of economics and business.
Gatchalian's vice presidential bid remains fluid, with no final decision made yet, and he has previously discussed the possibility with Duterte-Carpio.
He reiterated that he will not pursue the vice presidency if he is not partnered with Duterte-Carpio.
The congressman was certain that Duterte-Carpio will run for president, as she has been preparing her campaign platforms.
