Davao City Mayor Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio said she will no longer run for the presidency in the 2022 national elections after her father, President Rodrigo Duterte, accepted his nomination as the vice presidential candidate of PDP-Laban.
On the Facebook post of Davao PIO Jef Tupas, the details of
the conversation of Mayor Sara with reporter RG Cruz is posted.
1) Good Morning Mayor! What do you think of the outcome of
PDP Laban's convention yesterday?
I think it turned out the way the Cusi Faction wanted it to
go down.
2) With PRD firming up his plans for VP, how does it affect
your own plans for 2022?
It does not affect any of my plans but as we both agreed
only one from the family will run for a national position.
3) What do you think of SBG's positioning when it comes to
his nomination by the party?
From the last time PRRD and I talked this was their Plan A.
The Plan B was for SBG to run as VP.
4) What do you think of their senate slate?
No comment
5) And will you help the PDP Laban the way HNP helped in
2019?
No. I will not share my light this time.
6) Dyu have any message to your supporters?
Yes, I am happy we are united in our desire to see a better
Philippines in the future. I will be eternally thankful for your trust and
confidence.
7) What is the nature
of your relationship with PRD now?
The same as it was before. Our politics do not interfere
with our familial relationship. Iba ang trabaho, iba ang pamilya. Walang
personalan.

To clarify, with regards to question #2--can you categorically say you're no longer running for President because of PRD's declaration?
Yes, I am not running for a national position as we both agreed only one of us will run for a national position in 2022.
