VP Sara Duterte hints at 2028 presidential run in HK rally

Vice President Sara Duterte hinted at a potential 2028 presidential bid during a PDP-Laban campaign rally in Hong Kong.

She expressed gratitude for the support she received since 2016 and during her 2022 vice presidential campaign, playfully stating "joke lang" (just kidding) after mentioning the 2028 elections.

Her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, echoed this sentiment and stated the country would be lucky to have her as its next leader, though he cautioned about her leadership style.

The Vice President recounted a story about Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Apollo Quiboloy advising her to let others go first in the political ladder.

Duterte critics speculated that the Hong Kong trip could have something to do with the rumored issuance of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the former president.

She is currently facing an impeachment process in the House of Representatives, with 215 out of 306 House members voting to impeach her.
