DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Davao City mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio has not been talking about her vice presidential bid with her father, President Rodrigo Duterte.

“President Duterte and I have no conversations about my running for vice president,” Duterte-Carpio said, speaking in a mix of Filipino and English, in a press conference on Monday, where she was asked about it.

Last week, in an interview with Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, President Duterte said he had talked to his daughter only once about politics “months ago.”

Based on the president’s answer, it appeared that the said conversation did not end well. 

“We do not talk about politics — except for once. But I don’t want to discuss it because it was not good. It was between father and daughter. But it was also a conversation about politics,” President Duterte said when asked about her daughter’s tandem with former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
