A son of presidential candidate Davao City Rodrigo Duterte chooses to support Senator Chiz Escudero for vice president over his father’s running mate, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo “Pulong” Duterte officially endorsed Escudero’s candidacy for vice president during the latter’s visit to Davao City on Thursday, March 31.
In a photo shared by Davao Breaking News, the Davao City vice mayor was seen raising the hand of his chosen vice presidential candidate.
Escudero, running mate of presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe, said during his meeting with Mayor Duterte’s son that “while Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte has full backing to his dad’s presidential bid, he has his own choice for vice president.”
Pulong Duterte said he gave his support to the senator because of all the vice presidential candidates, Escudero is the only one who helped and will help Davao City.
“I choose Sen. Chiz Escudero as my VP given that he has significantly helped the City through his infrastructure projects and scholarship programs and by contributing to the Lingap Para Sa Mahirap and the Davao House of Hope. These, to me, are reasons enough to choose him,” Vice Mayor Duterte said.
The vice mayor admitted his choice for vice president may not be shared by other members of their family, but assured that it will not be a cause of conflict among them.
