VP Sara: I have recruited my 2028 running mateVice President Sara Duterte announces her intention to run for president in the 2028 general elections, at a press conference in Mandaluyong yesterday. MANILA, Philippines — Days after declaring her intention to run for president in 2028, Vice President Sara Duterte said she has chosen her potential running mate whose main task, if elected, would be to exact accountability from corrupt officials in government. The one that I’m recruiting to be vice president will take charge of making wrongdoers in government accountable, so I can focus on my job as president,” she said in Filipino. But the bottom line here is track record – what’s the track record of Leni? “By making her plans clear, VP Duterte has provided the public a sense of certainty and direction – something our people value in these uncertain times,” Herrera added.
