SALVADOR PANELO — The former Presidential Legal Advisor was confident that Davao City Mayor Sara will win if she decided to run for president in the 2022 elections.
Inquirer reported that the trajectory to win the presidency in the 2016 elections was clear for then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, but Panelo said that Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte’s trajectory to win the presidency in the 2022 elections was “filled with imponderables”.
He’s confident that if Mayor Sara will win if she changed her mind and will run for president in next year’s polls.
Panelo described Mayor Sara as a “puzzler” and a “sphinx”.
“For an individual who is known for her transparency and frankness, the pretty, amiable, intelligent, and soft-spoken Mayor of Davao City, Sara Zimmerman Duterte is a puzzler,” Panelo said. “She remains and continues to be as enigmatic as a sphinx.”

Panelo’s remark was made in order to address the question of whether Mayor Sara will change her mind to run for president next year.
November 15 was the deadline for the substitution of candidates. Mayor Sara has repeatedly expressed that she wasn’t interested in seeking the presidency.
Despite this, multisectoral groups such as “Run, Sara, Run” continued to try and convince the incumbent mayor of Davao City to change her mind.
“The roaring multitudes would not budge nor agree. They await with frenetic anxiety the verdict that will launch either a thousand anguish and a flood of tears or triumphal jubilation,” Panelo said.
Meanwhile, Taguig 1st District Representative and senatorial aspirant Alan Peter Cayetano said that the President can become an “elder statesman”, adding that he didn’t doubt the Chief Executive will continue to be influential in the days to come.
