Sara Running for President, President Duterte Confirms

 President Rodrigo Duterte just confirmed on Saturday that Mayor Sara Duterte Carpio will be running for President. The President told the media that Sara's running mate will be Senator Bong Go, who already filed his CONA under the PDP-Laban, Cusi faction.

Mayor Sara earlier said that she will not be running in a national position because the President will be running for Vice-president. Moreover, she already filed her reelection bid for Mayor in Davao City. However, many are skeptical about her statement since she is leading in the recent surveys. A lot of supporters are urging her to run for the Presidency and certain groups are going around the country to get the support of local politicians. 


Supporters of former Senator Bongbong Marcos will not be happy with this development. They are hoping for a Sara-BBM or Bongbong-Sara tandem, which they believe is a sure win tandem in the 2022 National Elections.


Netizens and other critics were not surprised with the announcement of the President. They already know that it is a tactic of the Duterte's. President Digong also did this strategy when run for the Presidency last 2016.


It is not yet clear if Mayor Sara will leave her Hugpong party and join the PDP-Laban. 


Is Sara-Go a sure win in the 2022 Elections?
