PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter has no intention of joining her father’s party or being its flag-bearer, her spokesperson said, adding to the twists surrounding next year’s presidential election in the Philippines.
Duterte said on Sunday that he would not run for office and would leave politics, adding that his daughter Sara Duterte-Carpio, the mayor of Davao city, could run to replace him.“Mayor Sara has no intention of becoming a member of PDP-Laban (Duterte’s party) or of being its standard bearer now or in the near future,” her spokesperson Christina Garcia Frasco said on Monday.
