MANILA ¨C Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte announced Wednesday she will run for president of the Southeast Asian nation of 116 million in 2028.
Duterte, who is embroiled in a bitter feud with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., was impeached last year only to see the country¡¯s Supreme Court throw the case out over procedural issues.
Her announcement comes just days before her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, begins a pre-trial hearing at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands over crimes against humanity allegedly committed as part of a brutal crackdown on drugs.
