Tuguegarao City, Cagayan – Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said on Thursday, November 11, that he will be discussing his possible Senatorial bid in 2022 with Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
Even without the Presidential daughter’s confirmatory plans to take her father’s place, Roque has expressed his support for her and that he will run under her party should she change her mind.
Roque said in a statement, “Kung magbabago ang isip niya na tatakbo po siya, kung tatanggapin niya po ako, nais ko pong tumakbo kasama niya. Sa ngayon po, wala pa pong hinahain na certificate of candidacy si Mayor Sara.”
Over the past weeks, the Presidential Spokesperson has stated that he will only go for a Senatorial seat in the 2022 elections if Sara Duterte runs for President.
In recent developments, the Davao City mayor withdrew her bid for re-election and has resigned from her regional party, the Hugpong ng Pagbagbago.
Roque also disclosed that Sara Duterte has encouraged him to run for senator and has already had a word with President Rodrigo Duterte regarding his campaign plans. TNF
