The tough-talking Mayor of Davao City, Mayor Rodrigo Duterte who was previously told his supporters that he is reluctant to run for higher officer but now everything change. On Thursday night, November 19, Mayor Duterte declared “the option to run as president is already open.”
According to Mayor Duterte his announcement to probably run for President in the 2016 elections was triggered by the decision of the Senate Electoral Tribunal favoring Sen. Grace Poe. He was quoted as saying “This is not about politics. But this is a constitutional issue, a legal issue, I cannot accept an American president” Duterte stated.
The announcement of Mayor Duterte was made in a press conference after he attended the city-wide youth congress in Davao City. Mayor Duterte told the media that he is terribly disgusted and disappointed by recent development in the country.
The 70-year-old Mayor Duterte clarified, “First, let us just say, I am terribly disappointed. Second, I cannot accept Grace Poe as a legitimate candidate for president because I agree with the justices of the SC (Supreme Court) that this is a legal issue and not a political issue. Third, the option for me to run for president is already open,” he stressed.
When Mayor Duterte was asked by the press to expound his statement and to clarify what he meant, the Mayor reiterated “The option is already open to me because I am terribly disappointed.”
