BREAKING: Vice President Sara Duterte announces presidential bid in 2028.

"Ako si Sara Duterte, tatakbong presidente ng Pilipinas," she says in a streamed speech on Wednesday, February 18.

"I offer my life, my strength, and my future in the service of our nation," she adds.

Her announcement comes on the heels of the House's initiation of new impeachment complaints against her, and and ICC's hearing next week of evidence against her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Senator Risa Hontiveros pays a visit to Pag-asa Island, a part of the Spratly archipelago in the West Philippine Sea, on Saturday, February 21.

The island lies roughly 480 kilometers west of Palawan and is one of the most hotly contested areas in the waterway.

“Ang pagbisita ko dito sa Pag-asa Island, na bahagi ng Kalayaan Island Group sa West Philippine Sea, ay pagpapakita lamang ng suporta at pakikiisa sa mga kapwa nating Pilipino na nandito sa Kalayaan,” Hontiveros says.

“Sila at ang munisipalidad nila ay bahagi ng Pilipinas kaya hinding-hindi sila dapat pabayaan,” she adds.
