[이데일리 피용익 기자] Ahead of the Philippine presidential election in May next year, President Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter Sarah have completed their registration as candidates for the vice-presidential election. Interest is gathered in the unprecedented confrontation between women and children.
According to Reuters and others on the 14th, Mayor Sarah Davao declared a run for vice president the day before, breaking expectations that she would run for the presidency.
Mayor Sarah, who was at the forefront of various presidential opinion polls, gave up her run for re-election on the 9th, and rumors of running for president quickly surfaced, but she registered as a candidate for vice president, not president.
Filipino politicians were in turmoil as reports emerged that Sara’s father, President Duterte, would also run for vice president.
Martin Andanar, the president’s press secretary, confirmed media reports that Duterte would register as a vice presidential candidate on the 15th, the last day of registration, to face off against his daughter, mayor Sarah, Reuters reported.
In the Philippines, the president and vice president will be elected separately through elections in May next year. In addition, 18,000 members of the Senate and House of Representatives and bureaucrats are also elected.
For the presidency, he faced a confrontation with former senator Marcos, who inherited the name of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, boxing hero Senator Manny Pacquiao, former Manila mayor Francisco Domagoso, and former actor Duterte. Vice President On Lenny Robredo and Senator Panfilo Laxson have completed their nominations.
Among them, former senator Marcos nominated Duterte’s daughter, Mayor Sarah, as her running mate.
Some analysts say that former Senator Marcos and Mayor Sarah can become a ‘game changer’ in that they are a coalition of influential political families. However, Reuters reported that the alliance between the second generation of the dictator Marcos family and the “strongman” Duterte family is an atmosphere accepted by Filipino human rights activists as “the worst combination”.
