IGINIIT ni vice presidential aspirant at Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte na hindi niya papalitan ang ka-tandem na si presidential aspirant at dating Senador Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sakaling ma-disqualify ito.
“There is no discussion between me and Presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos about the disqualification charges against him. Personally, I find talks about me ‘possibly replacing ‘ a President Bongbong Marcos exceptionally unpleasant as — in reality — both of us are yet to win the elections. It is putting the cart before the horse,” ayon kay Duterte.
“I am not entertaining the thoughts of a possible replacement as I also do not look forward to a scenario of a disqualified BBM — before or after the elections,” ayon pa sa alkalde kasabay ang pagsasabi na walang basehan ang mga kasong isinampa sa kanyang katandem.
“I maintain that the disqualification cases filed against BBM have no basis at all — orchestrated by anti-Marcos forces desperate to regain control of our country, never mind if they sow divisiveness among our people, never mind if they undermine our freedom, never mind if they make a mockery of our laws,” pahayag pa ng vice presidential bet.
Hindi pa inilalabas ng Commission on Elections ang kanilang desisyon sa kaso ng disqualification, na nag-ugat sa hindi paghahain ni Marcos Jr. ng income tax returns.
