Fri Sep 06 16:09:00 UTC 2024: – Former presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo urged former president Rodrigo Duterte to run for vice president in 2028, in tandem with his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte
– This would be the first-ever daughter and father tandem running for the top two positions in the Philippines
– The move would challenge the constitutional ban on political dynasties, as Congress has not yet passed a law to comply with the directive
– There may be preemptive strikes against the Duterte-Duterte ticket, including impeaching the vice president or passing an anti-dynasty law
– The Dutertes would face challenges in 2028 due to issues like the war on drugs, corruption allegations, and pro-China stances
– The narrative of a Duterte-Duterte ticket may be seen as serving their own interests rather than the country’s
– The Dutertes may not be able to count on the support of Marcos loyalists as in previous elections, and may struggle to maintain their political base.
They can run, but can they hide?
