Registration for presidency closes without Duterte’s daughter

The country’s week-long registration for candidates in the 2022 election closed on Friday without an application from President Rodrigo Duterte’s daughter, disappointing many of her supporters, who up to the last minute were egging her to run.

Sara Duterte-Carpio, 43, thanked her supporters but maintained she was running for mayor of Davao, the Philippines’ third largest city, a position she has held twice since she succeeded her father as local chief executive in 2016.
