But not so important as people here vote mostly for personalities and sometimes city mayors. They're not keen on experienced lawmakers.

Is Bong Bong throwing his hat into the ring next year??..Maybe he is worth a bet.Duterte is getting old now,and they are close after all,at least i think they are.

Don't think he will run. He's only been a senator for 2 years. Hardly a personality. The polls show a likely "double D" next year with Sara and Dad a family tandem. Some say Sara might serve a short time then find a pretext to resign enabling Dad to resume the Presidency and become immune to prosecution.

It seems an option, but recently the elder Duterte is beginning to look a mite frail.
The real circus will start just before Christmas, C-19 and Delta permitting,
