Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said he will run for vice president in the 2022 elections, but his spokesman said there’s a chance the leader would stand down if his daughter seeks the presidency.
“I will continue the crusade. I’m worried about the drugs, insurgency,” Duterte said in a briefing aired late Tuesday. “I may not have the power to give the direction or guidance, but I can always express my views in public.”
