PRESIDENTIAL daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio is firm about not running for the national position following the decision that only one Duterte would run for the 2022 elections.

Based on the transcript of her interview forwarded by the Davao City Information Office to the media on Thursday, September 9, the mayor said this is in relation to the decision of her father, President Rodrigo Duterte, to run for vice president.

“Yes, I am not running for a national position as we both agreed only one of us will run for a national position in 2022,” Duterte-Carpio said.

She said this does not affect any of her plans as it was both agreed by them that only one from the family will run for a national position.

The President on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, formally accepted his nomination as the vice-presidential bet of the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi.
