DAVAO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Davao Bureau) – Is she running for President in 2022, or is she not?
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte was recently quoted as saying that she told her President father (PRRD) that she does not intend to run and that the older Duterte told her he, too, did not want her to run.
We wanted to get to the bottom of all this, so we went directly to the source. Sara said she was misquoted, so we took it upon ourselves to issue an erratum. Apologies to ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) for our intrusion.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros is endorsing Presidential daughter Sara Duterte for President — all for the sake of women power.
Hontiveros was reacting to a recent statement by Rodrigo Duterte that women are not fit to be President. He was commenting on speculation that his daughter is running to succeed him in 2022.
In a post on her Twitter account, Hontiveros said that women will take back the Presidency for a more worthy administration. She didn’t mention Sara by name, but it was obvious she was referring to the Davao City Mayor who, in a recent Pulse Asia survey, topped the list of potential Presidential candidates in 2022.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – President Rodrigo Duterte is in hot water after he commented that women are not fit for the Presidency. He made the statement as he denied speculation that his daughter Sara is running in 2022 to succeed him.
Many women and advocates criticized the President, tagging his statement as misogynistic.
But Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified that Duterte was misquoted, and that Duterte did not say “Hindi ito pambabae” (it’s not for women). What the President said, according to Roque was “Hindi ito pambababae” (It’s not about womanizing).
Roque said that the context of his statement had something to do with past Presidents who have been known to be womanizers or were romantically linked to women other than their First Ladies.
