VP bet Sara Duterte poses with Go

Vice presidential bet Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio posed for a photo with Senator Christopher “Bong” Go at the Hugpong ng Pagbabago-Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod (HNP-HTL) miting de avance on Friday night, May 6.

Go, President Rodrigo Duterte’s long-time aide, was initially nominated as the standard bearer of the Cusi-led Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP)-Laban.

In October, he filed his candidacy for the position of vice president under PDP-Laban. He eventually backed out of the vice presidential race and instead announced his bid for presidency under Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan (PDDS).

In November, Duterte endorsed Go and Duterte-Carpio for president and vice president at a dinner for House members in Malacañang.

Go, however, filed his withdrawal from the presidential race in December after Duterte-Carpio launched her own campaign for the vice presidency.

Duterte-Carpio, meanwhile, filed her candidacy for vice president in November under the coalition party of Partido Federal and Lakas Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD).GB – BNY
