Will Sara ask Duterte for advice? She says, 'We don't talk about politics'

It seems that Vice President-elect Sara Duterte will not be asking for advice from her father, outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte, as she is set to serve as the country's 15th vice president.

At a press conference in Davao City on Monday, Duterte was asked if she will be soliciting advice from the elder Duterte. She responded by saying that they usually do not discuss political matters in the family.

"PRD and ako, hindi kasi kami and I think nasabi na rin niya 'yan publicly, we don't discuss trabaho and we don't discuss politics so pag nagkikita kami, usually ang pinag-uusapan namin mga tsismis sa family members, mga ganon, tsismis sa paligid so ganyan 'yung... very normal 'yung relationship namin ni PRD, hindi siya professional o business type," the Vice President-elect said.

(We don't discuss work and politics. If we see each other, we usually talk about rumors among family members and other gossips. Our relationship is not professional or business type but very normal.)

Her father attended her inauguration held at San Pedro Square in Davao City on Sunday, June 19. Photos have shown that she hugged her father after taking her oath.

Duterte said she thanked her father and the latter wished her good luck.

Meanwhile, asked what will be her advice to her brother, Sebastian "Baste" Duterte, who was elected as Davao City mayor, she said the latter should always prioritize the welfare of the residents.

"As mayor, dapat niya lagi isapuso ang general welfare clause ng Local Government Code and that there will always be many issues and challenges na hindi magiging masaya lahat ng tao but kung gagawin lang niya and susundin lang niya ang general welfare clause o 'yung general welfare ng majority then he will always be on the right track," she said.

(As city mayor, he should always think about the general welfare clause of the Local Government Code and that there will always be many issues and challenges wherein his constituents will not always be happy. But if he follows the general welfare clause, he'll always be on the right track.)—AOL, GMA News
