President Rodrigo Duterte has claimed in his weekly speech that Senator Imee Marcos was also gunning for the vice presidency in the 2022 polls.
Duterte said that Imee visited his daughter Sara Duterte in Davao City hoping that the latter will tap her as her running mate.
“Si Imee ganito ang laro niyan eh. Pinuntahan niya si Mayor Duterte sa Davao hoping na magtakbo yun siya ang maging bise. Eh hindi naman tatakbo, sabi ni Mayor Sara Duterte hindi siya magtakbo,” he said.
Earlier, the lady senator said she believed that the tandem of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and his brother, former Senator Bongbong Marcos, will be a ‘marriage made in heaven’.
“Everything’s possible but I suppose the most obvious thing is that if the Dutertes have the solid south, we’re assumed to have the solid north. Parang marriage made in heaven yan,” she said.
“Political wisdom says if you look at the numbers, it looks good, looks like a really solid tandem,” she added.
Bongbong has confirmed that he will run in 2022 but has yet to decide on which post.
He lost the vice presidential race against Vice President Leni Robredo in 2016.
