Rody wants Sara to run for mayor

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte wants his daughter, former Mayor Sara Z. Duterte-Carpio, to run for mayor in 2016 despite the declared intention of his son, Vice Mayor Paolo Z. Duterte, to for the same position.
In his message during the opening program of the 78th Araw ng Davao on Tuesday night, Duterte said he wants Sara to continue the development he had started in the city.
In an interview after the program, Duterte told reporters he had seen Sara’s performance when she was mayor from 2010 to 2013.
“Nakita naman gud ko sa iyang performance ba na ok man (I saw her performance which was good),” he said.
Duterte said he does not want Sara and Paolo to fight over the position because they are siblings.
He said he has not yet talked to Paolo over his declared intention to run for mayor.
Edge Davao tried to get the side of Sara on the pronouncement of her father but she replied with a short, “No comment.”
Paolo had earlier said he will run for mayor if his father runs for President.
He said, however, that he will respect the will of his father if Sara is chosen as mayoralty candidate of the Hugpong sa Tawong Lungsod, the local political party to which the three of the belong. Armando B. Fenequito Jr.
