MANILA, Philippines — For the second time in a week, President Rodrigo Duterte told his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, not to seek the presidency, saying running for president would give her nothing but “sacrifices” and “insults.”
Speaking at PDP-Laban’s campaign rally in Batangas City on Wednesday night, Duterte also recalled telling Sara about the position’s supposed “low compensation” and the thousands of papers a president has to read and sign.
“My daughter is not running for president. I told her, ‘Wala kang… sakripisyo ka lang diyan. Kakaliit ng sweldo ng p***** **a tapos ganon ang sakripisyo mo. Wala kang tulog gabi-gabi,” Duterte said.
“Kaya sabi ko kay Inday, ‘Huwag kang tumakbo. Anong makuha mo? You serve the nation tapos ‘yang kung mag-insulto itong mga p***** **a, mga pera-pera lang,” he added.
Earlier, Duterte also said that he would not allow his daughter to run for president.
