Malacañang Responds to Rumors of VP Sara Duterte’s 2028 Presidential Run: ‘Her Right to Decide’

In a recent statement, Malacañang addressed swirling rumors about Vice President Sara Duterte potentially running for president in 2028. Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin described the speculation as ‘too early’ but emphasized that it is Duterte’s prerogative to decide on her political future. Although no official announcement has been made regarding her plans for the 2028 election, Duterte has openly admitted to giving serious thought to a presidential campaign. This statement came after her recent ‘private trip’ to Japan, where she engaged with communities of Filipino workers abroad.
