MANILA — Senator Robin Padilla stated on Thursday (27 June 2024) that the potential candidacy of three Dutertes for the Senate is “very good news” as it would mean three more allies for him in the upper chamber.
“Napakagandang balita iyon. Para sa akin, magkakaroon ako ng kakampi sa Senado bukod kina Sen. Bong Go, Sen. Bato at Sen. Tolentino,” Padilla said.
Vice President Sara Duterte recently disclosed that her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte, and Davao City First District Representative Paolo Duterte will seek Senate seats in the 2025 midterm elections.
Padilla also praised the work track record of the former President and his sons, Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte and Rep. Paolo “Pulong” Duterte.
“Pag pag-uusapan natin ang record sa trabaho, wala tayong masasabi kina Pres. Duterte, Pulong, at Baste; nagtatrabaho naman ang mga iyon,” the senator remarked.
Meanwhile, Senators Bong Go, Ronald dela Rosa, and Francis Tolentino will end their terms next year but are eligible to seek another Senate term in 2025.
