Like dad Rody, VP Sara endorses PDP Senate bets

Published Feb 13, 2025 11:41 am

Vice President Sara Duterte has officially endorsed on Thursday, Feb. 13, the senatorial bets of her father’s Partido ng Demokratiko Pilipino Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).

While she was a no-show at the proclamation rally held in San Juan City, TV host and actress Giselle Sanchez and her co-host read the message from Duterte, who is believed to be in Japan with half-sister Veronica “Kitty” Duterte.
 

“Kaisa ng ating mga kababayang patuloy na naghahangad ng isang magandang kinabukasan, ipinapaabot ko ang aking pasasalamat sa inyong pagpupunyaging magbigay-daan sa isang tunay at makabuluhang pagbabago (With our countrymen who continue to hope for a better future, I am extending my gratitude in your endeavor for a true and meaningful change),” she said.
 

“Salamat sa inyong pagtanggap sa tawag ng serbisyo-publiko sa kabila ng mga hamong kaakibat nito (Thank you for heeding the call of public service despite the challenges it comes with),” she added.
 

PDP-Laban has eight senatorial candidates: reelectionist Senators Bato Dela Rosa and Bong Go, former actor Philip Salvador, and lawyers Raul Lambino, Jesus Hinlo, and Jimmy Bondoc.
 

She also endorsed SAGIP Partylist Rep. Rodante Marcoleta and embattled Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
 

“Ako ay nagtitiwalang nasa taong bayan ang kapangyarihang baguhin ang kasalukuyang takbo ng ating bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagboto sa mga taong karapat-dapat, tapat at matiyagang maglilingkod sa bayan (I trust that the people have the power to change the current state of our country by voting for candidates who are rightful, honest, and who will patiently serve the public),” Duterte said.
 

During last week’s press conference, she said that they have yet to discuss plans for the upcoming midterm elections in May, where Duterte allies will face administration bets.
 

The outcome of the 2025 midterm elections is especially critical for the Vice President as it will change the composition of the Senate, which is expected to convene as an impeachment trial court after the polls.
 

Duterte was impeached by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, Feb. 5.
