MANILA: Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte said Wednesday she would seek the presidency in the 2028 elections — a bid that would have to withstand new impeachment attempts in Congress and criminal complaints that could ban her from public office if convicted. She made the announcement in a televised speech where she renewed allegations of corruption and misrule against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. They were running mates in a whirlwind alliance in the 2022 election but have since had a bitter falling out.

The daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte has feuded spectacularly with the incumbent, Bongbong Marcos.

Announcement follows multiple impeachment complaints against the vice president over allegations of corruption.
