Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has said he consider running for presidency in the 2016 election following the leaked video (below) of his campaign ad.
“This is the first time that I have mentioned the possibility of being the president,” sabi nito sa isang interview.”
Duterte also hit back to Justice Se. Leila De Lima and former Commission on Human Rights chairperson Etta Rosales adding he will not spot in digging controversies involcing the two officials.
“Then let me also have a taste of how you can handle people when you are in power not to harass but legally,” he said.
The mayor said he had been praying for answer whether he run for higher office.
“I’ve always said that God will somehow enlighten me. I’ve been asking, I’ve been praying: ‘God, I do not like it. I do not need it. ‘Pag ginusto mo, you give me a cause to do it.’ Pero ito ngayon, well I am thinking about it, really. Pinag-iisipan ko na, na kung may sampu, o 100 people like De Lima campaigning for me, and Etta Rosales… mananalo ako niyan. Mananalo ako! Etta Rosales and De Lima will provide the edge,” he said.
He said he is waiting for his other critics before making his decision.
Earlier, De Lima insisted that Duterte has criminal liability over his denouncement of his connection with the Davao Death Squad.
The Mayor then said, in contrary, that he is connected with Davao Development System.
