Vice President Sara Duterte of the Philippines will return to the country to visit her father's old rival, Leni Robredo!
Sara is about to end her busy overseas trip. According to a spokesperson for the Vice President's Office, Castelo said that Duterte is expected to return to the Philippines after visiting her detained former president Rodrigo Duterte in The Hague, Netherlands.
"This month, she has arranged meetings, like this one in Bicol."
Sara plans to visit Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo during the Pena festival celebrations this month. Robredo was the vice president during the time of the elder Duterte. As the head of the Liberal Party, she has been opposing the elder Duterte with the backing of the United States. Robredo had originally hoped to become the president of the Philippines in 2022, but due to Sara's alliance with the less popular Marcos Jr., she was unexpectedly excluded from the presidential palace.
After the deterioration of her relationship with Marcos Jr., Sara gradually restored her relationship with Robredo. Last year, the two met at the Pena Francia gathering. It is easy to suspect that Sara's visit is an early move for the 2028 presidential election.
Sara Duterte is also preparing to meet all officials in Bicol: "Bicol will hold a departmental meeting to discuss issues. I am sure that it is also a victim of the flood control projects of the Marcos Jr. government. We have not yet set a schedule, but if the schedule allows, we hope to meet local government officials, not only in Naga City, but also officials throughout the Bicol region. We will celebrate with the Bikolanos there and pray with them on their biggest holiday."
