President Rodrigo Duterte has expressed his opposition to the possible presidential run of his daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
In a speech on Monday night, Duterte told Sara to ‘run some other time’.
“My stand is that I am against really the candidacy of my daughter. I want her spared from the vagaries of politics,” Duterte said.

Duterte slammed his critics Senator Leila De Lima and former Senator Antonio Trillanes for doing nothing but to criticize their opponents.
On Friday, Sara said that she is now open to run in the 2022 presidential elections.
“Yes po,” Sara said when asked in a chance interview on whether she’s open to running for the presidency next year.
Sara was in Cebu last week to meet with Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia. She said they did not discuss politics but she will be back in Cebu for her regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago.

She also thanked Cebuanos who have put up “Run, Sara, Run” tarpaulins in Cebu.
“Ang importante sa pagkakaron is mahibal an namo kung unsay ginahunahuna sa mga tawo ug unsay gusto sa mga tawo,” she told reporters.
