PRRD expresses support for Go, unaware of Sara’s filing for VP

President Rodrigo Duterte expressed his support for presidential candidate Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go during an interview on Sunday (Nov. 14).

“Umiiyak si Bong, sabi ko wag kang umiyak bat ka iiyak? Ayan bukas ang presidente tumakbo ka, bakit ka iiyak dyan dahil lang anak ko sumingit bigla?” Duterte said.

“Eh wala itong ginawang hambog na kwento na kaya niya, pero alam ko sa taon na nagserbisyo siya sakin alam ko isang ano is talagang honest [siya]. Wala ka talagang makita,” Duterte said, adding that Go is a worthy and honest candidate.

Meanwhile, Duterte also expressed how he was not a supporter of Marcos.

“Yang pagtakbo ni Marcos sasabihin ko ang rason kung bakit di ako makakasuporta sa kanya at kung bakit maging kagaya kay Leni, eh mga pro ano yan eh–dyan na nga ako takot eh, mga pro communist yan eh,” he said.

Duterte added he was unaware that his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, would run for vice president.

“Totoo hindi ko talaga alam, nalaman ko nung nag-file siya. Nung nag file siya alam ko na, kasi yung panahon nanghingi siya ng COC dalawa for presidente and vice president. Hindi ko nga malaman kung ano–di nga kami nag uusap, eh.” – PG – bny
