MANILA - During Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s first two years in office, his daughter Sara had barely any interest in politics.
Monday’s elections are to a great extent a referendum on the Duterte administration, testing his popularity and giving him a chance to tighten his grip on power by retaining his Congressional majority, and keeping the opposition on the fringes of the all-important Senate for the remainder of his term.
“Her image is being looked into, how people accept her. She has her own personality. She’s not being looked at as a carbon copy of her father.” Talk of succeeding President Duterte in 2022 has dampened concern among his critics that he might try to cling to power by changing the constitution to remove the single-term limit for presidents.
She has been seen in public sharing lunch with opposition leader Leni Robredo, whose party the president despises.
