Philippine president might run for mayor after presidential term


(MENAFN) Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was confirmed to be mulling over a decision to run for mayor once his time in office ends in 2022.

The Philippine president put the option out during the opening ceremony of a bridge in Davao City this week.

President Duterte has been a mayor for Davao city for a period of 23 years before he assumed the presidential office in 2016.

"If I don't have a job anymore I might run for the mayor here again," the president said, adding "(I am) very near the end of the road. So, I'like to thank you again for supporting me, for helping me. Most of you are really my supporters."
