This, despite dela Rosa’s claims that he was not a mere placeholder for Duterte-Carpio, who was being wooed by his political party, the Cusi faction of PDP-Laban, to be its standard bearer.

Dela Rosa earlier admitted having been informed of the party decision to field him for president just mere hours before the Comelec closed the filing of certificate of candidacy for national and local elections.

Nevertheless, dela Rosa said he would be willing to give way should the presidential daughter decide to run for president.

The Davao City mayor, however, maintained she will only run for reelection in 2022.

Dela Rosa’s meeting with Duterte-Carpio came after the latter’s meeting with another presidential aspirant, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in Cebu on Saturday, during the birthday celebration of another solon.
