Teodoro sees a 'very good' president in Mayor Sara: 'She should run'
Former Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro believes Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio possesses the qualities to be a very good president.
Teodoro stated that Duterte-Carpio has the ability to unite people, an independent mind, and managerial skills honed from running Davao City.
He noted that Duterte-Carpio shares priorities such as mass vaccination and economic recovery, making her a strong presidential candidate.
Teodoro expressed his willingness to support her presidential bid and potentially serve as her vice president.
However, Teodoro clarified that a Duterte-Carpio and Teodoro tandem for the 2022 presidential race is not a 'done deal', despite discussions.
He explained that while they discussed national issues, her smile in response to a suggestion of a 'president, vice president' pairing was not a confirmation.
