“Gusto talaga ninyo? O sige, tatakbo ako ng bise presidente. Then, I will continue the crusade. I’m worried about the drugs, insurgency. Number one is insurgency, then criminality, drugs,” the country’s chief executive said.

“I may not have the power to give direction or guidance but I can always express my views in public. For whatever it may be worth in the coming days, nasa Pilipino na ‘yan,” he added.

Earlier, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan revealed that Duterte “agreed to make the sacrifice and heed the clamor of the people” to join the vice presidential race next year.
