Duterte to VP Sara: forget presidency

By Nidz Godino

“They worry about Inday Sara, don’t seek  presidency… if you are hearing this, avoid it…give it to ambitious ones, instead,” former president Rodrigo Duterte said during  press conference in Tacloban City forget any plan for  presidency in the 2028 elections.

And even if Sara ignores his call and eventually becomes president, it would still not guarantee that the country would be better, he said.

The former president also rejected Sara’s earlier pronouncement that he, along with his sons Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte and First District Rep. Paolo Duterte, would all run for  Senate in  2025 elections.

Duterte said people should not believe everything his daughter says, as sometimes she has  tendency to make jokes.

“Do you believe her…my God…she’ll take you for a ride if you are not asking  correct questions,” he said.

To prove his point, Duterte cited his age,  diminished popularity and lack of funds.

“I won’t go back to politics… I am done… I am no longer popular… I do not have  funds, I have nothing…what is left is my cockiness yabang na lang, besides, where could you find  father and his two sons running together for  Senate…what will we do in the Senate,” Duterte said.

The former president also clarified that group Hakbang ng Maisug is not calling for  ouster or resignation of President Marcos, pointing out that every administration has its own mistakes and that Maisug is just there to call out  mistakes of Marcos administration. Duterte want Marcos  not lose any sleep…” I want him to work for six years…he was voted by  people to work for six years…you do your work there…do not worry, nobody is interested in removing you…it is  waste of time, “I am praying that he should live till the end of his term,” Duterte said.

Hakbang ng Maisug group has been going around the country, holding prayer rallies to protest against  people’s initiative signature campaign for Charter change.and even if he is face of the group,” Duterte said. Duterte denied being behind  movement.

“Maisug is not me, and I am not Maisug…there are other people behind it, businessmen… I cannot say anything, but I hope  whenever there is  rally, it should be peaceful,” Duterte said

On the recent tirades of former senator Leila de Lima, Duterte said “she should be at peace with her life now.”

“Even if she submits herself to crucifixion, whatever she would do now, she still shamed  entire generation after her…they will bear her name but the shame will be there, find your peace where you are now…don’t look for trouble, you will only regret it…why would you get back at me… I don’t do rock and roll,” Duterte said  in apparent reference to  video showing De Lima dancing in  rock concert of  convicted drug lord inside  Bilibid prison.

Duterte also warned  International Criminal Court (ICC) over  alleged impending service of  warrant of arrest against him.

“I don’t give a damn whether they come in…for me, they have no jurisdiction… Philippines already left ICC…we are not part of  ICC…if they would insist that there is  case there that would warrant my arrest, I will wait for them,” he said.

The former chief executive added he does not want any official of  Philippine National Police or  National Bureau of Investigation to serve warrant.

“I want  ICC representative to bring me that paper because the moment that person gives it to me, I will let you eat that paper or I will deliver you to hell,” Duterte said.
