Liberal Party President and Senator Kiko Pangilinan said that the country cannot afford to be ruled by another Duterte in the next 6 years.
In an interview on ABS-CBN News, Pangilinan said that real change cannot happen if Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte will win in the next elections.
Sara retains the top place in recent presidential surveys.

“The next 6 years will be critical, it will determine probably the next 20 years. We cannot afford another 6 years under this administration, another 6 years of daily killings, strongman iron-fist policies, subservience to China,” he said.
“Do you expect real change from the last 5 years to the next 5 years kung Duterte-Duterte ang mangyayari? Nasa tao na yun, sila ang magpapasya,” he added.

Pangilinan adds that Duterte should present now his plans for the economy.
“I don’t think at this point masasabi natin na pumapasa siya. Maaaring pumasa siya kung aayusin talaga niya…I want to hear later paano natin malalagpasan itong COVID, paano manunumbalik ang ekonomiya, pano matitiyak na yung vaccine rollout ay talagang sapat na,” he said. (TDT)
