Senator and vice-presidential aspirant Bong Go revealed that President Rodrigo Duterte is seriously considering running for senate in the 2022 elections.
Go said: “He is considering, pinag-aaralan niyang mabuti. Kung makakatulong ba sa bayan… he might. Kino-consider n’ya po ‘yung pagtakbo,” Go said in an interview.
Go added that Duterte is examining a number of factors before deciding whether or not to run, including his party’s, PDP-Laban, senatorial slate.
Duterte is open to running if it would help administration candidates win, said the senator.
“Siyempre tinitingnan din niya ‘yung slate ng administration ng PDP. Kung makakatulong siya na mas maraming mananalo sa part ng administration, iyon ang kino-consider,” said Go.
“And of course, ‘yung pagseserbisyo sa bayan bilang inyong Tatay Digong. Ito proven and tested na po ‘yung kanyang pagseserbisyo sa ating mga kababayan hindi lang sa salita kung ‘di sa gawa,” he added.
The President is being urged by his ruling party, the PDP-Laban, to run for senator in the 2022 elections. Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, as party president, stated that attempts were being made to push Duterte to run for Senate next year.
