Don’t run – Duterte

MANILA: Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has warned his eldest daughter against running for president in 2022.

Sara Duterte, mayor of the president’s home city of Davao in the southern region of Mindanao, has gained traction as a possible front runner in the next presidential election. She formed a political coalition that endorsed 13 candidates for the Senate in midterm elections that were being held across the Philippines yesterday.

Eleven of the candidates were expected to win. “Inday, I’m publicly warning (you),” Duterte said, calling his daughter by her nickname.

“The presidency… will just destroy you.”
