Vice presidential aspirant and senator Bong Go revealed that there could be major changes in his 2022 election plans due to the wishes of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“Itong kandidatura ko bilang bise presidente ay maaaring magbago. Hindi ho maiwasan na may changes sa pulitika na napakadumi,” Go said in an event in Antipolo City.

“Gustuhin ko man magsilbi sa inyo bilang bise presidente, pero sa kagustuhan ng ating mahal na pangulo, kailangan ko pong umiwas. Malalaman niyo yan sa darating na araw,” the senator added.

It’s unclear if Go will be withdrawing his vice-presidential bid to give way to presidential daughter Sara Duterte.

Earlier, Sara announced that she is withdrawing her candidacy for city mayor on Tuesday afternoon.

“Ngayong hapon wini-withdraw ko ang aking kandidatura sa pagka-Mayor ng Davao City. Si VM Baste ang papalit sa akin,” the presidential daughter said.

She also refused to divulge more details on her decision to run.

“Ito lamang po muna sa ngayon. Maraming salamat po,” Sara wrote on her Facebook account.

Sara is the current frontrunner on presidential surveys. She however did not file her certificate of candidacy until October 8 insisting that she would finish her term as city mayor. (TDT)
