JUST IN: Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte said her decision to run for Vice President is a compromise to "meet halfway" with her supporters who urged her to run for President. #OurVoteOurFuture#VotePH | @kmanlupigINQ
@kmanlupigINQ Duterte: I have thousands of supporters who cried last October 8 and I cannot find it in my heart to make them cry again on November 15. | @kmanlupigINQ
@kmanlupigINQ Duterte: I appeal to all supporters to stay calm. The problems of PDP are their own. Let them resolve the issues within their party. This is all politics and this will not matter in the years to come or even now. | @kmanlupigINQ
@kmanlupigINQ Mayor Duterte is now giving hints about her possible electoral agenda when she talked about the country's recovery. I think she's referring to the socio-economic effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic. | @kmanlupigINQ
@kmanlupigINQ It is also really interesting how she's pushing for "forging relationships" which could mean that she will be presented as a unifying figure during and after the 2022 elections. | @kmanlupigINQ
