Duterte, Go running under different party to dodge legal complication: PDP-Laban exec
MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte and his longtime aide Sen. Christopher Go did not file their 2022 candidacies under their original party PDP-Laban to dodge possible legal complications, an ally said on Tuesday.
"Iyong pag-file po nila Senator Bong Go at Pangulong Duterte under PDDS ay para umiwas sa any legal complications that may or may not arise," said Cabinet Secretary and PDP-Laban executive vice president Karlo Nograles said in a press briefing. Go over the weekend registered his run for president, while Duterte filed his candidacy for senator last-minute on Monday. They are both substitute candidates of the PDDS.
Nograles said he did not know when Duterte and Go took oath as members of PDDS. One needs to join a national party to serve as its substitute candidate. The President over the weekend questioned why Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio was running for the No. 2 job despite topping surveys on his preferred successor.
