Sara hopeful DU30 will support Marcos
But will respect dad’s choice
SANTA Maria, Bulacan – LAKAS-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) vice presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is hopeful that she will get a chance to personally speak with her father, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, during upcoming family occasions.
“Hindi pa kami nagkausap ni President Duterte but in time, I expect that we will see each other if not after the campaign, baka during the campaign dahil may mga birthdays sa family during March and April. So baka magkita kami doon sa events na ‘yun,” Mayor Duterte said during an interview with journalists in Sta. Maria Bulacan.
Among the events the Lakas-CMD chairperson was presumably referring to March 28, when President Duterte celebrates his 77th birthday.
The lady mayor is busy on the campaign trail ahead of the May 9, 2022 elections.
She leads the BBM-Sara UniTeam ticket along with Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) standard-bearer, former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.
Asked if she would seek President Duterte’s support for Marcos once they meet, Mayor Duterte said that’s exactly what she would want to see.
“Well yes of course ‘yan ang gusto naming lahat no, na makita yung suporta ni Pangulong Duterte para sa UniTeam. But of course he is the President and he is allowed to do and say kung ano yung gusto niya. And we will respect his decision,” Duterte said.
Marcos is the frontrunner in all pre-election surveys for the presidency despite not yet having the Chief Executive’s endorsement.
Mayor Duterte is also the frontrunner in the vice presidential race.
