Rep. Paolo Duterte not keen on running for senator

DAVAO CITY – Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte said he currently has no intentions of running for senator.Duterte said he was surprised that his name is constantly included in surveys for the 2025 senatorial elections. These pollsters placed him from Top 9 to 12 along with Senators Christopher Go and Ronald dela Rosa who are both from this city.

The young lawmaker, who thanked all his supporters, reiterated that he has no plans of running for a higher position. “I cannot finance a nationwide campaign. What little I have saved is allotted for my retirement and the education of my children,” said Duterte, adding that seeking a higher position is not easy.

"I can be honest that it crossed my mind to run when a few people encouraged me to run for Senate, especially during the presidency of PRRD, but it wouldn't be that easy. Hindi madaling iwan ang mga taong matagal ko nang pinagsisilbihan – ang mga Dabawenyos ,” he said.
