Yes, Sara Duterte officially announced her candidacy for President in the 2028 Philippine elections on February 18, 2026.
Here's a quick rundown of what's happening:
- Early Announcement: Her declaration is considered an early move in Philippine politics, but surveys show it hasn't negatively impacted her standing.
- Regional Strength: She has strong support in Visayas and Mindanao, areas traditionally difficult for candidates backed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to gain traction.
- Political Climate: Her announcement comes amidst a perceived rift between her and President Marcos Jr., and she's been facing impeachment efforts and legal controversies, which some analysts suggest she's spinning as political persecution
