Duterte: Sara ‘definitely out’ of 2022 presidential race
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is seeking reelection as mayor in the May 2022 elections, having filed her certificate of candidacy on Saturday.
Despite persistent calls and high survey ratings for her to run for president, Duterte maintained her decision to run for mayor for a third and last term.
She stated her decision to stay in Davao City and thanked her supporters for their trust and respect.
President Rodrigo Duterte confirmed that his daughter is "definitely out" of the 2022 presidential race, noting she was true to her repeated statements of not running for the top job.
The President mentioned that opportunities for his daughter will arise in the future, though not necessarily the presidency.
Previously, Duterte had floated the idea of his daughter running in tandem with Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, who filed his candidacy for vice president on October 2.
