MANILA, Philippines — Aspiring president and former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. revealed that the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) initially planned to adopt President Rodrigo Duterte as vice presidential bet in the 2022 polls.

“As of now, no one has filed for vice president under PFP. To be very candid with you, the reason why is that the original plan was for us to adopt PRRD [Duterte] for our vice presidential candidate,” Marcos shared after he filed his certificate of candidacy at the Sofitel Harbor Garden Tent in Pasay City on Wednesday.

“Pero sa mga nangyari noong nakaraang Sabado, nagbago lahat ng plano. Kaya’t ngayon, nagkokonsulta kami, ‘yung partido at syempre lahat ng mga ating ibang mga kasamahan na kung anong dapat gawin,” he added.
