TOKYO, Japan — North Korea has notified Japan of a plan..
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said she will not be running for president in the 2022 national elections after her father, President Rodrigo Duterte, accepted PDP-Laban’s nomination for vice president.
“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 Thursday.
The president, on Wednesday, accepted the nomination from his party, Partido Demokatiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), to be its standard bearer, alongside his long time aide, Senator Bong Go. The senator, however, has declined the nomination.
The older Duterte earlier said that he will back out of the race, should his daughter decide to vie for the presidential seat.
Sara, meanwhile, assured that her relationship with her father remains “the same as it was before.”
"Our politics do not interfere with our familial relationship. Iba ang trabaho, iba ang pamilya. Walang personalan," the mayor said.
