Gibo Teodoro says Sara Duterte not yet ‘certain’ to run in presidential race

Former Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro said that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has no definite plans yet on running for the 2022 elections.

Teodoro said that he would gladly be Duterte’s running mate should the front runner decide to join the presidential race.

“My impression with Mayor Sara talking about issues is that she will make a very good president of this country. She would have the ability to unite a lot of people. She has an independent mind. She has managerial skills, running a very complex city like Davao. She is familiar with national issues,” Teodoro said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.

“I am willing to back her up. I’ll gladly be her vice president if she should decide,” he added.

Teodoro went to Davao City last week as part of his consultation for the 2022 elections.

He said Sara’s presidency will not lead to a political dynasty.

“There were two President Aquino. There were two President Macapagal. It’s people that vote,” he said.
