Hugpong Para kay Sara launched, backs Duterte's presidential bid

A citizens' movement called Hugpong Para kay Sara (HPS) was launched on September 13, 2021, to urge Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte to run for president.

The group is also appealing to President Rodrigo Duterte to give up his plan to seek the vice presidency.

House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and several House members joined forces with the city mayor's Hugpong ng Pagbabago and local leaders to form the HPS.

HPS President Allan Yap stated that Mayor Duterte is the most qualified person to succeed her father in 2022.

Former Davao del Norte Governor and HPS chairman Anthony del Rosario mentioned that urging Mayor Duterte to run and persuading President Duterte not to run are the organization's current objectives.
