Duterte rival Philippines VP to decide soon on presidential bidLeni Robredo is yet to decide on accepting an opposition coalition's nomination to run for president in the Philippine elections. Duterte, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a second term, had declared in August he would run for the vice presidency. Duterte made a similar announcement in September 2015, saying he "will retire from public life for good" only to declare his presidential bid two months later. Most of the top candidates have supported Duterte's controversial drug war, and political analysts say VP Robredo could struggle to compete if she decides to run. "(VP Robredo is) too good, she's too nice."
