Manila (AFP) – Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte announces she will run to become president of the Southeast Asian nation of 116 million people in 2028. Duterte, who is embroiled in a bitter feud with President Ferdinand Marcos, was impeached last year only to see the country’s Supreme Court throw the case out over procedural issues. The announcement comes days before her father, former president Rodrigo Duterte, begins a pre-trial hearing at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands for crimes against humanity allegedly committed during his brutal crackdown on drugs.
