Supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte launched the “Inday Sara Duterte 2028 Movement” during a gathering at Rizal Park in Davao City over the weekend to mark their support for Duterte’s presidential bid in the 2028 elections.

Organizers said the activity aimed to unite supporters nationwide and show solidarity with the Vice President amid ongoing political challenges.

“Naay mga taga-Mindanao nga nagpaluyo nimo, ayaw kabalaka. Ayaw pagduha-duha kay naa mi nagpaluyo nimo, pangisog na,” ISD 2028 Movement head, Mar Masanghud, said.

One of the speakers during the activity, Atty. Harold Respicio, discussed possible legal strategies that may reportedly help Duterte’s candidacy for 2028 amid the ongoing impeachment proceedings.

“Na kapag natuloy ang impeachment trial at bago magtapos ang impeachment trial, by legal strategy, pwedeng mag-resign si VP Sara Duterte, at ‘yung impeachment proceedings magiging fountus officio. It will have lost its purpose at titigil na siya. At pwede na siyang tumakbo bilang presidente sa 2028,” Masanghud added.

The Vice President is in The Hague, Netherlands to visit her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte who is detained at the International Criminal Court for his alleged crime against humanity.

The House of Representatives voted to impeach her, for the second time, on May 11, 2026 and forwarded the Articles of Imprachment to the Senate, which will act as the impeachment court.
