Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has no plans to join PDP-Laban and run for president in the 2022 elections, according to her spokesperson.

Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, PDP-Laban party president, stated that it is still possible for the party to endorse Duterte-Carpio as its presidential candidate.

President Rodrigo Duterte announced his daughter would run for president, potentially with Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go as her running mate.

However, Duterte-Carpio has filed her Certificate of Candidacy for reelection as Davao City Mayor.

President Duterte confirmed his withdrawal from the PDP-Laban's vice-presidential nomination and now supports Go, who has filed his COC for vice president.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified that President Duterte's mention of a "Sara-Go" tandem was merely his preferred outcome and not a definitive plan.

Duterte-Carpio previously stated she would not run for president, especially if her father was keen on seeking the vice presidency.
