PRESIDENTIAL son and Davao City First District Representative Paolo Duterte will be supporting the candidacy of his sister, vice presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio and her runningmate, former Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.

In a report from state-owned network PTV, Paolo, the eldest son of President Rodrigo Duterte and ex-wife Elizabeth Zimmerman, has said “yes” when asked if Marcos is now his presidential bet.

The lawmaker also said he will support his sister's candidacy for the second-highest national post.

“Good luck sa kanya, alam ko na malaki ang matutulong niya sa bansa,” Paolo told PTV.

(Good luck to her. I know she would have a huge contribution to the country.)

On how he can help with Duterte-Carpio’s candidacy, he said, "Magiging bodyguard niya ako. Full support ako kay Mayor Inday Sara."

(I will be her bodyguard. Mayor Inday Sara has her full support.)

Paolo accompanied Duterte-Carpio during a caravan at the Batangas Provincial Capitol on Thursday, December 2. He sat beside Marcos on stage during the event.

Former House Speaker and current Davao del Norte First District Representative Pantaleon Alvarez speaks during the Maisug prayer rally at the Davao del Norte Sports Complex on Sunday evening, April 14, 2024.
