Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said he’s still considering a vice-presidential run in the 2022 elections, again signaling his intention to stay in a top post after his term ends next year.

“Consider me a candidate for the vice presidency at this time, maybe to maintain equilibrium for all,” he told reporters at a train station inauguration Thursday.
