MANILA – Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte announced Wednesday she will run for president of the Southeast Asian nation of 116 million in 2028.
Duterte, who is embroiled in a bitter feud with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., was impeached last year only to see the country’s Supreme Court throw the case out over procedural issues.
Her announcement comes just days before her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, begins a pre-trial hearing at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands over crimes against humanity allegedly committed as part of a brutal crackdown on drugs.
