MANILA, Philippines — Admitting he does not have control over his daughter, President Duterte said he has to live with the reality that he and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio have different sets of senatorial candidates in the May elections. “Insofar as PDP (Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan) is concerned, I have no quarrel with Inday actually,” he said, referring to his daughter by her nickname. Duterte said he respects his daughter’s own political decisions even if they sometimes clash with his. So we cannot agree on all – especially on all of the personalities there at Hugpong,” he said, referring to the regional party led by his daughter. The Chief Executive also announced the party’s guest candidates: Senators Sonny Angara, JV Ejercito, and Cynthia Villar, Taguig Rep. Pia Cayetano, Ilocos Norte Gov.
