“Hindi po ako tatakbong senador…(I am not running for the Senate),” Duterte-Carpio said, noting that many have already been calling her ‘senator.’
“I’m not running for the Senate. We’re just really trying to unite everybody who wants to help the administration of Preside Duterte until 2022,” she added.
