Sara Duterte rejects presidential bid anew, reiterates plan to complete term as mayor 

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has rejected fresh calls for her to run for president in the 2022 elections. 

In a Facebook post, Sara said that she wants to complete her term as city mayor.

The presidential daughter has filed her certificate of candidacy (COC) last weekend.

“Masakit din para sa aking damdamin na sana’y magpaubaya sa mga kaibigan na hindi ko maibigay ang gusto ninyo. Gusto ko po sana tapusin muna ang huli kong termino sa Mayor bago ako manungkulan sa ibang position,” she said. 

“Madami sa inyo ang nasasaktan, sumama ang loob at nawalan ng pag-asa pero puwede pa rin tayo magtulungan para sa ating bayan, di kailangan ng position, di kailangan ng tayo ay Pangulo upang makatulong. Gawin natin ang pagtulong sa kapwa sa araw-araw natin na pamumuhay,” Sara added. 

The Davao City mayor consistently tops the recent presidential surveys followed by former senator Bongbong Marcos, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, Senator Manny Pacquiao, Senator Grace Poe and Vice President Leni Robredo.
