‘Sara for President’ movement endorsed by palace spokesman
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said he will only run for a national post in the 2022 elections if Sara Duterte-Carpio seeks the presidency, despite her father's wishes.
Roque made the statement after President Duterte reiterated his opposition to Sara running for president, citing the hardships she would face.
Roque, a card-bearing member of the PRP, stated that Sara Duterte-Carpio shares the same qualities as late Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, making her a suitable presidential candidate.
Roque emphasized his affiliation with the PRP and HNP, noting that the PRP recently renewed its alliance with HNP.
Roque indicated that he would make a different decision if HNP does not field any candidate for the 2022 elections.
