Vice President Sara Duterte on Wednesday declared she will run for president in 2028, ending months of speculation about her political future. “I offer my life, my strength, and my future in the service of our nation,” she said in a livestreamed address. “I am Sara Duterte. I will run for president of the Philippines.” Supporters welcomed the announcement, while critics in the House of Representatives dismissed it as a diversion from the new impeachment charges. She was impeached last year, though a ruling by the Supreme Court halted a Senate trial.
