Vice Pres. Sara Duterte Leads 2028 Presidential Election Survey
SARA DUTERTE – The Vice President admitted that she is not convinced by election survey results and she herself does not pay for it citing the cost.
Amid multiple impeachment complaints having been filed against her before the Office of the Secretary General of the House of Representative, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte declared that she will run for president in 2028. Her announcement was met with different reactions.
Vice Pres. Duterte also claimed that she has already talked to someone last year to be her running mate. However, she refused to name the person for his/her protection while no decision has been arrived at yet by the unnamed individual.
Even prior to her declaration to run for the presidency, the name of Vice Pres. Sara Duterte has already led several surveys over the potential candidates for the 2028 presidential race. However, recently, the Vice President reveals that she’s not really convinced by the results of surveys.
Based on News5, during a press interview at the sidelines of an event for the commemoration of the Araw ng Kagitingan today, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte revealed that she is not convinced with the results of election surveys citing doubt on the veracity of the data. She also claimed that she does not pay for a conduct of a survey as it is supposedly expensive.
“Alam niyo sa totoo lang, sinabi ko na dati noh, ako mismo hindi ako nagpapa-survey. Unang-una mahal ‘yung pagpapa-survey at pangalawa, itong mga survey na ito hindi natin alam kung totoo ba talaga ‘yung kanyang data kung ano ‘yung nakikita diyan sa iba’t ibang komunidad natin sa buong bansa,” the Vice President said.
Based on the post, during the interview with the press, while she is not convinced with the election survey’s data, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte clarified that she and the Office of the Vice President are grateful to the support and trust that the Filipino people has for them in giving genuine service.
“Pero, sabi ko nga, lagi, nagpapasalamat ako, at kami sa Tanggapan ng Pangalawang Pangulo, sa patuloy na suporta at pagtitiwala ng ating mga kababayan sa aming kakayahan para magbigay ng makatotohanan na serbisyo,” Duterte expressed.
Currently, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte is faced with two impeachment complaints filed before the Office of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives. The Vice President skipped the first hearing held by the House Committee on Justice as her camp questions the constitutionality of the proceedings.
According to Atty. Michael Poa, Vice Pres. Duterte is not mandated to personally appear at the hearing. The next hearing is set on April 14 and the Vice President recently filed a petition requesting the Supreme Court to stop the House impeachment proceedings through a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO).
The Supreme Court did not issue a TRO when it responded to the petition filed by the Vice President. House Speaker Bojie Dy has spoken on the fate of the impeachment proceedings of Vice Pres. Sara Duterte following the petition she filed before the high court.
