PARTIDO FEDERAL ADOPTS INDAY SARA AS VP, BONGBONG’S RUNNING MATE IN 2022

Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) announced on Sunday that it had adopted Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio as its Vice Presidential candidate and endorsed her as the running mate of party standard-bearer Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr. in the upcoming 2022 elections.

The Executive Committee of the PFP released a Resolution on Sunday following Duterte-Carpio’s filing with the Comelec of her Certificate of Candidacy (CoC) for Vice President under LAKAS-CMD.

“RESOLVED that vice presidential candidate MAYOR SARA DUTERTE CARPIO, of the LAKAS-CMD, is hereby ADOPTED by the PARTIDO FEDERAL NG PILIPINAS as its candidate for vice president, and hereby ENDORSES her candidacy as the running mate of the PFP’s official candidate for president of the Philippines SENATOR FERDINAND R. MARCOS, JR. in the May 9, 2022, national elections,” A portion of the resolution read.

The PFP resolution further stated that the party did not issue Certificates of Nomination and Acceptance (CONA) and had no official candidates for Vice President and Senators for the upcoming polls.

It also added that party Chair and standard-bearer Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr. was given “full power and authority” to choose his Vice Presidential running mate and senatorial line-up.

Marcos, advocating for a unifying leadership brand, has remained humble calm amid malicious moves to derail his candidacy for the 2022 polls.

He has also fared well in recent Presidential preference surveys, where he enjoyed an ‘overwhelming’ lead over other candidates.  Recent surveys also showed that a Bongbong-Sara tandem would result in a landslide victory for the duo.
