Who will be the running mate of Bongbong Marcos?

After his oath-taking as a member of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, he announced his intention to run for the highest Philippine government position. The following day, he filed his COC but has not announced anything regarding his Vice President.
Based on the report from ABS-CBN News, Bongbong Marcos said that the initial plan of their party was to adopt President Rodrigo Duterte as its candidate for vice president. However, the Chief Executive announced his retirement from politics after his term in 2022. Instead, it was Senator Bong Go who filed his COC for the second highest position.
In line with this, Marcos was asked if he considers Go to be his running mate. “Paano ‘yon? Bongbong-Bong? Bong to the third power?” the former Senator said. “Baka puwede rin. We’ll see,” he added.
There were also those who are anticipating the Bongbong Marcos-Sara Duterte tandem. The presidential daughter has been on the top of surveys. When the former Senator visited the Davao City Mayor last May, he said that although they talked about politics, “but no specifics”. “And since then, hindi na kami nag-usap sa specifics,” Marcos said on the day he filed his COC.
He also said that there conversation did not lead to the point of who will be the president or the vice president. Sara Duterte has already filed her COC as she seeks reelection for her third term as Mayor of Davao City.
