Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said that he was flattered by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago’s comments that she is considering him as her running mate for the 2016 presidential elections.
But Duterte quickly added, he’s not inclined to seek a national post, stressing that he’s not fit for national office.”
Senator Santiago told a news briefing yesterday that Mayor Duterte would make an excellent Vice-President for enforcement because the country’s two main problems are corruption and peace and order.
But the senator seemed to be also considering former Defense Secretary and presidential bet Gilbert Teodoro and Senator Grace Poe as other possible running-mates.
Santiago said she may yet go for it in 2016 , if she fully recovers from lung cancer by the end of this year.
