Is Duterte retirement from politics final? Roque: ‘Antayin natin ang Nov. 15’

By Prince Golez

Malacañang on Monday urged those who cast doubts on President Rodrigo Duterte’s retirement to wait until the deadline of substitution of candidates for the 2022 elections on November 15.

On Saturday, Duterte dropped his bid for vice president, saying that he was retiring from politics after June 2022.

His long time aide Senator Bong Go replaced him as the vice presidential bet of the ruling PDP-Laban party.

“Bakit naman tayo magdududa kung sinabi na ng Presidente ‘yan? At naghain na po ng certificate of candidacy si Senator Bong Go for vice president,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during his televised briefing.

“Well, kung talagang may nagdududa eh antayin na lang natin ang Oktubre a-otso para malaman natin kung ano ang plano ni Presidente. At kung meron pa ring duda, antayin natin ang November 15 kasi yun po yung deadline para sa substitution.

“Wala na po akong assurance na maibibigay dun sa talagang gustong magduda,” he added.

To recall, Duterte also announced his retirement from politics in 2015 but recalled his decision and ran for the presidency the following year.
