Vice President Sara Duterte endorsed 12 senatorial bets, including Senator Imee Marcos and Representative Camille Villar, who align with her vision for the Philippines.

These candidates are running under PDP Laban and are also backed by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

The Vice President explained that her father's arrest and detention in The Hague, along with his personal request, changed her mind about endorsing candidates.

Her endorsement of Senator Marcos has sparked disputes among Duterte supporters and some PDP-Laban candidates.

Despite a widening political rift between the Marcos and Duterte clans, both Senator Marcos and Representative Villar are among those endorsed.

Former presidential spokesman Harry Roque urged Duterte supporters to back the Vice President's decision to endorse Marcos, despite his reservations about the Marcos family's trustworthiness.
