"[Presumptive Vice President] Sara has indicated she would be interested in the Department of National Defense and of course she’s here to fully support the administration of [presumptive President] Bongbong Marcos," Liloan town mayor Christina Frasco told ANC's Headstart.

The former Davao City mayor is a "very, very organized and proactive person," according to her spokesperson.

"She comes up with proactive solutions. She’s not the type to complain but the type to act on problems," Frasco said.

"[She] has always stood firm on the decisions she has made and she values her independence both as a mayor and a person in politics."

Duterte-Carpio has also "always put herself at the forefront of public relations to deliver directly to them the message they would like to convey," Frasco said.

"Her preference has always been to go to the people," she said.
