Sara Duterte urged to run for president by supporters

Supporters are urging Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte to run for president in the upcoming Eleksyon 2022, believing she would be an improved leader compared to her father, President Rodrigo Duterte.

The Hugpong Para kay Sara (HPS) group officially launched their campaign to support Mayor Duterte's presidential bid.

HPS spokesperson Anthony del Rosario highlighted that Mayor Duterte possesses an independent mind and makes her own decisions, distinguishing her from her father.

Del Rosario described Mayor Sara Duterte as 'version 2.0', suggesting a superior product by combining the Duterte and Zimmerman lineage, referencing her mother Elizabeth Zimmerman.

He also emphasized Mayor Duterte's compassionate nature towards her constituents.

However, Mayor Duterte had previously stated she would not run for a national position after her father accepted the nomination as PDP-Laban's vice-presidential candidate.

The father and daughter agreed that only one of them would run for a national position in Eleksyon 2022.

Bagong Henerasyon party-list Representative Bernadette Herrera-Dy believes Sara could fill in the gaps of the current administration.
