Based on the report, Davao City Vice Mayor Baste Duterte said that it is still unknown whether or not Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte is endorsing former Sen. Bongbong Marcos but he sees “signs”. The presidential son cited the support of PDP-Laban Cusi wing to Marcos Jr. The Chief Executive is a member of the said party.
