Panelo on Sara as next president: 'Diosdado to Gloria, Cory to Noy, baka merong Digong to Sara'

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte

Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio might become the next president of the country, following her father’s footsteps.

In a press briefing, Panelo made the remarks when asked if government funds are used when the younger Duterte goes around the country to campaign with the senatorial candidates of Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP).

Panelo said the presidential daughter could well afford to bankroll the campaign of her regional party, due to contributions from her political backers whom he did not name.

“There are many admirers of Inday Sara – admirers and supporters. In fact, there is even a movement launching her to be the next president. Maraming bilib sa kanya eh. They see in her, the character of the father: magaling, matalino, matapang – mas matapang pa nga kay Presidente daw,” Panelo said

“So, natural lamang sa mga kaibigan niya at sa kaibigan ng mga kaibigan niya na suportahan iyong mga causes niya, kasi hanga sila kay Mayor Inday Sara,” he added

Panelo also disclosed that Inday Sara is a very strict leader and would not agree to use government funds for HNP.

“Naku si Mayor Sara pa napaka-istrikto niyan. You know what the people there is Davao City said when she was Mayor until now, mas istrikto pa iyan kay Mayor Digong, iyang si Mayor Sara lalo na sa mga expenses. I will not be surprised if she becomes President of this country after her father,” said Panelo.

“Kaya ko lang sinabi iyon, kasi naalala ko, merong (Diosdado) Macapagal, merong anak na naging Gloria Arroyo na Presidente; merong Cory Aquino na naging Presidente naman iyong anak na si PNoy, baka ‘kako meron namang Duterte at may Sara Duterte din, kaya ko lang nasabi iyon,” he added.
