In a media interview, Sen. Bato dela Rosa says only President Duterte can convince his daughter, Mayor Sara Duterte, to seek the presidency.

"Mag-usap silang mag-ama... I’m hoping," he says. Dela Rosa, PDP-Laban presidential bet, wants to give way to Mayor Sara | @eimorpsantos

@eimorpsantos Yesterday, Mayor Sara reiterated that she will not run for President. Did this lessen Dela Rosa's hope that she would change her mind?

Dela Rosa: Nabawasan ng 1%... Kung sinabi ko noon na 60-40 na may tendency na tatakbo siya, 59-41 na lang | @eimorpsantos

@eimorpsantos Unlike other presidential aspirants, Sen. Dela Rosa is not yet going around the country to meet with supporters.
