Duterte signs paper accepting VP nomination in Eleksyon 2022

President Rodrigo Duterte has formally accepted PDP-Laban Cusi faction's nomination for him to run for vice president in the 2022 elections.

A photo release of PDP-Laban Cusi faction shows Duterte signing the Certificate of Nomination Acceptance (CONA) to confirm his acceptance.

When asked during his regular press briefing on Thursday if Duterte’s decision to run for vice president is already final, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said he has no physical access to the President because he is under facility quarantine.

Roque, however, asked the public to wait for the developments between October 8, last day of filing of the certificate of candidacy, and November 15, the last day of substitution of an official candidate.

Duterte has verbally accepted the nomination on September 8 during the national assembly of the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi.
