PAALAM! DAVAO MAYOR SARA DUTERTE BALAK IWAN ANG HUGPONG NG PAGBABAGO.
Presidential daughter Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio is thinking of leaving the Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) regional political party just a few days before the May 13 midterm polls.
Carpio, who chairs the HNP, heads the campaign caravan for the senatorial candidates they are endorsing and has been visiting various parts of the country.
“Actually, the truth is I am now considering the idea of leaving HNP because this election (campaign) is already making me tired. All of them are looking up to me and waiting on me,” she pointed out at the sidelines of a recent campaign rally in the south. -Sara Duterte
“I thought the campaign was going to be easy because in Davao, it was easy to talk with the politicians. But then, when the campaign grew this big and you meet all the difference people (in politics), it becomes really hard,” she explained.
Although many think the presidential daughter is going on the provincial sorties this early as a dry run for the 2022 presidential campaign, Carpio stressed that she has no plans of running for president given the enormous responsibility that the office brings.
She said she also does not like the attention she is getting as she has always been addressed as the “next president” in HNP rallies.
The presidential daughter added that she has been getting the focus and attention in the rallies, a situation she does not relish because this should have been turned on the senatorial and local candidates instead of on her.
