Earlier this week, Duterte-Carpio said public clamor pushed her to run for the vice presidency next year.

Speaking at a meeting of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines in Davao City, Duterte-Carpio said that her supporters kept on calling for her to run in the national elections despite saying she would not do so.

She added that a supporter told her to run for the country's second-highest office after President Rodrigo Duterte decided not to push through with his own bid for the post.
