There is no RoSa as far as Sara is concerned.
Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio reminded the public and her supporters that she is a person, a woman, a leader who values commitment and word of honor and emphasized she is running for the position of Vice President and her presidential bet is runningmate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
The mayor issued the statement as various groups are toying with the idea of teaming up Mayor Sara with other Presidential bets, specifically opposition bet Vice President Leni Robredo.
“The presidency was the option for Apo BBM as it was for me. I chose the vice presidency,” the mayor said.
Some groups and allies are now pushing a Robredo-Duterte (RoSa) 2022 tandem and even tagged the team-up “Women of Steel”. Vice President Leni Robredo was also reported expressing her willingness to work with anyone, including Mayor Sara, should they secure the country’s highest posts this upcoming election.
There are also groups pushing for Isko-Sara tandem Presidential aspirant Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso and Mayor Sara.
“Once again, let me reiterate that I am aware that many of you wish to see me with another presidential candidate. I take that as a sign of confidence in me as a leader. And for that, I am truly deeply touched and honored. When we agreed to form the UniTeam of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte, we both agreed to run together with the singular purpose of improving the lives of the Filipinos and making the Philippines a stronger country. Again, I intend to honor the commitment of my parties — the Lakas-CMD and Hugpong ng Pagbabago. That is to support Apo Bongbong Marcos as President,” Mayor Sara said.
Mayor Sara also said with only 48 days before the elections in May, her Vice Presidential candidacy continues to move forward. She said she is encouraged and inspired by the overwhelming welcome from thousands after thousands of Filipinos across the country.
“We are barely half the journey, but I would have not reached this point in the campaign without the support of many local leaders, politicians, businessmen, people in nongovernment organizations and the academe, youth groups, women’s organizations, the Moro people, tribal leaders and their communities, members of the LGBT community, the ordinary citizens who trust in me and joined my cause,” she said.
