March 01, 2021 DAVAO City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio expressed gratitude to those who are calling on her to run for presidency in the 2022 elections, but she did not mention any final plans for the upcoming elections. "Once again, I am grateful to all my friends who believe in me and who relentlessly expressed their call for me to run as president," Duterte-Carpio said in a video message forwarded to the media by the Davao City Information Office on Monday, March 1. Duterte-Carpio added, "The unity and strength that you have shown gave me comfort knowing that I have friends like you." "Hindi na po kailangan ulit-ulitin natin ang panawagan sa mga tarpaulin at motorcade dahil naririnig ko po kayo at naiintindihan ko ang nasa puso ninyo. Dahil ako man ay may ganoon din na nararamdaman (There is no need for you to reiterate your calls through tarpaulins and motorcades because I heard your calls and I understand what is in your hearts right now. Even I have the same feeling), and because we all agree that we shall be the change we want to see in the world, let us show the world how it is appropriately done," she said.
