MANILA – Sara Duterte, who currently holds the office of Vice President in the Philippines, announced Wednesday her plans to seek the nation’s highest office in the upcoming 2028 presidential election.<\/p>

During her announcement, Duterte pledged to dedicate her “life, strength and future” to serving the Filipino people. Recent polling data indicates she enters the presidential contest as one of the frontrunners among potential candidates.<\/p>

The Philippine constitution restricts presidents to serving just one six-year term, preventing current leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr. from pursuing another term. Marcos Jr. and Duterte have maintained a contentious political relationship.<\/p>

Sara Duterte is the child of Rodrigo Duterte, who previously served as the country’s president. Her father currently faces detention in The Hague, where he confronts murder accusations connected to the violent anti-drug campaign he orchestrated while in office.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
