Roque says ‘no hard feelings’ after Sara refused presidential bid

By Prince Golez

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque has no hard feelings that Davao City Sara Duterte-Carpio did not run for the country’s top post.

Roque, however, expressed hope that Duterte-Carpio, who is seeking reelection for a third and final term in 2022, will change her mind.

“Hindi sumama ang loob ko. Bakit po? Sinabi talaga sa akin ni Mayor Sara nung akoy nakipag-usap sa kanya na mayor ang kanyang takbo. That was when my heart was broken dahil I wanted her to run for president,” the secretary said in a virtual presser.

“Pero siyempre umaasa tayo na baka magbago ang isip, pero hindi na nagbago. So, sa akin po, alam ko na po ang desisyon. I was still praying and hoping na magbabago. Pero walang pong dahilan na sumakit ang aking loob,” he added.

Roque also wished for the recovery of Duterte-Carpio, who tested positive for Covid-19.

“Ang mensahe po natin kay Mayor Sara at sa kanyang pamilya, please keep safe and get well soon,” he said.
