Presidential son and neophyte Davao City Rep. Paolo “Pulong” Duterte is set to join the National Unity Party, thus, raising speculations that he might pursue the speakership when the 15-month unofficial term of Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano is over.

The young Duterte is set to take his oath as a card-bearing member of the NUP on Tuesday, the same day that the political party will elect new officers, including its president.

“There is a good possibility that Rep. Duterte will become the president. I don’t think there is any violation of the party Charter,” an NUP source said. However, personal choices of other NUP members for speaker prompted its leader to declare a free zone for the speakership.
