Sara Duterte herself, together with HnP Secretary General Anthony del Rosario, was also present during the event.
In a chance interview, Del Rosario said that Sara Duterte will not run for senator in next year’s election but would seek re-election as Davao mayor.
“We’ve talked about this several times, definitely po she’s not running for the Senate, ang sinasabi niya, hindi niya pa kayang iwan ang Davao (she says she can’t leave Davao),” Del Rosario said. /je/ac
