In this presidential election, people are full of waiting for Duterte's daughter Sarah, and they are curious whether she will participate in the election. As a rare woman in Philippine politics, Sarah has shown great political talent since she was a child. In 20 16, she once "succeeded" her father to become the mayor of Davao, with little success and won the love of many people. Sarah is not inferior to men in dealing with large and small affairs, and she is quite feminine. Therefore, in the next presidential election, there are rumors that Sarah will take over her father's "mantle", but Sarah's female identity has also caused some controversy. Opponents believe that women are always hesitant. At the press conference, Duterte also said: I can't find anyone more suitable to be the next president than Bibi Sarah, but as a maverick thinking woman, I don't know what her thoughts are.
Sarah was born in Davao, Mindanao, Philippines from 65438 to 0978. As the eldest daughter of Duterte, Sarah has received a good education since she was a child, and she has never been wronged. Under her father's subtle influence, Sarah has developed a good habit of independent thinking, has unique views on various social issues, and often discusses some interesting things about people's livelihood with her father. Thanks to the strong political atmosphere, Sarah gradually established a unique ideological system in the political field. Father Duterte likes Sarah very much and has high hopes for her among his children, hoping that she can achieve something in the future.
Sarah didn't despair her father. After graduating from San Pedro University, she entered a TV station in Davao City and became a talk show manager. This program focuses on social and people's livelihood issues, focusing on hot topics such as women, children and the poor. Sarah often speaks for the disadvantaged groups, which makes her win the love and support of many people and has a high popularity in Davao City, laying the foundation for her future political career. In 2007, Sarah followed her father Duterte as a campaign assistant and officially set foot in politics. Sarah is very concerned about people's livelihood issues, and continues to speak for the people and think for the people in this post. Coupled with her logical and rigorous political thought and gifted speech eloquence, she saved her reputation in Davao City.
In 20 16, duterte was elected president of the Philippines. With the support of the people, Sarah succeeded her father as the mayor of Davao and became the first female mayor in the city's history. After Sarah came to power, she insisted on thinking for the people and fully supported the disadvantaged groups, which continued Duterte's political changes. Similar to her father Duterte, Sarah does whatever she wants and never compromises on people's livelihood issues. During his tenure, Davao was flooded and many people were displaced. In this case, Sarah heard that a local sheriff was going to forcibly demolish a controversial house, which would make more people homeless. Sarah immediately stepped forward to stop it and even punched it directly. Although reckless, it won the public's favor, and everyone praised Sarah as a competent and good mayor.
Managing Davao City is not an easy task. Davao City is located in the southern Philippines, where poverty is the most prominent drawback. In addition, there are many religious believers here, frequent donations, and extremely unstable social security, so that it is also known as the "killing capital." As a woman, Sarah has never been afraid of these things. During his more than ten years as mayor, he vigorously carried out anti-drug operations and ordered the crackdown on illegal drug trafficking organizations in the city. On the other hand, we should sort out internal affairs, deal with corruption and erosion, dismiss all officials with ulterior motives, actively promote the building of a clean government, and organize the establishment of a regional political party "innovation alliance." These practical measures have made the turbulent city of Davao slowly settle down, and people no longer have to worry about it, becoming the third largest city in the Philippines known for its strict law and order.
It is worth mentioning that Sarah especially supported the cooperation with China, and actively sought the cooperation between Davao City and China during her tenure, thus promoting the city's economic development. Previously, due to the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan, China was greatly praised by the international media with ulterior motives, and some politicians even put pressure on China with the help of their remarks in an attempt to undermine the friendly relations between China and the Philippines. When meeting with Philippine Ambassador to the China Huang Xilian, Sarah supported China and highly praised China's measures to fight the epidemic. She thought that China was able to arrange things in an orderly way in this crisis and control the spread of the epidemic in a short time, which was remarkable. At the same time, Sarah also enthusiastically indicated that the Philippines would provide assistance within its capacity and hoped that China could get out of the epidemic as soon as possible. Sarah's practice broke through the rumors of discord between China and the Philippines in the western media and deepened the friendship between China and the Philippines. In addition, when the epidemic was raging in the Philippines, we did not choose to stand by and sent more than 600,000 doses of vaccine aid to the Philippines, and used my experience in fighting the epidemic to help the Philippines tide over the difficulties.
Sarah's closeness to China has a long history. When she was the mayor of Davao, she insisted on friendly exchanges with our country, which was related to her identity in China. As a descendant of Chinese, Sarah's ancestral home is in Jinjiang, Fujian, and she is closely related to the people of China. In 20 16, Sarah personally led a diplomatic delegation to Jinjiang, Fujian, to carry out economic and trade cooperation with the local government, and at the same time vigorously develop tourism between the two places. Because of her various initiatives on China, the ordinary city of Davao once became one of the cities with the closest relationship between the Philippines and China.
Apart from Sarah's Chinese identity, objectively speaking, she is close to China, which is also her clear understanding of the international situation. Sarah understands that the ambition of American wolves is always to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Although she constantly hopes to cooperate with the Philippines verbally, in fact, it is only lip service, and there is no essential behavior. On the contrary, under the strong pressure of the United States, it is difficult for the Philippines to achieve breakthrough development. On the other hand, China is a country that keeps its word. China, which advocates war-friendly diplomacy, is different from the suspicious and cunning of the United States. The aid to the Philippines is real, not only economically, but also provides a lot of convenience for the Philippines to establish resources and promotes the domestic economic development of the Philippines. At the same time, the "One Belt, One Road" policy advocated by China is open and transparent, which has promoted the economic development of Southeast Asian countries. So Sarah knows that cooperation with China is the best choice for the Philippines to get rid of the clutches of American hegemony. In the previous Sino-US trade war, Sarah also publicly voiced her opposition to American aggression and directly criticized American hegemonic behavior.
In fact, not only Sarah, but also her father, Duterte, is very friendly to China, and strives to promote the deepening friendship between China and the Philippines. Duterte frequently clashed with the United States during his tenure, publicly challenged the United States several times, and was fearless in the face of hegemony. Even bluntly, the western countries are a group of hypocrites, trying their best to flaunt democracy and human rights, but bullying the vulnerable groups in various countries, from strangling Indians and discriminating against blacks to bombing Syria, wearing the cloak of culture but doing ordinary things like animals. In the face of China, Duterte changed his tough foreign policy. During the confrontation in the South China Sea, he also expressed his support for China's just action to defend its sovereignty. In recent years, China-Philippines relations have soared and become increasingly close, and cooperation in various fields has also benefited the two peoples. In the face of western media rumors and pro-American opposition in the Philippines, Duterte has always adhered to his China policy and stabilized the friendship between the two countries. As usual, bilateral relations between China and the Philippines have entered the best period in history.
In 2022, the term of President Duterte will expire. If the pro-American faction is in power, then Sino-Philippine relations will surely undergo serious changes. Therefore, out of selfishness, we all hope that Sarah can follow in her father's footsteps and take the position of president of the Philippines, so that Sino-Philippine relations will inevitably reach a new height. The voice of the Filipino people for Sarah's election as president is also very high, and nearly one-third of the respondents believe that Sarah is a well-deserved presidential candidate. In addition, Duterte has also publicly stated that he will not oppose the "political dynasty", and the act of recommending virtuous people and not avoiding relatives is also in line with the political ideal of the Philippines. Of course, whether Sarah can run for the presidency is still inconclusive, but she has also publicly stated that she will try to establish friendly relations with China regardless of whether she can run for the presidency.
Besides, if Sarah chooses to run for president, she will face many problems. Usually the situation is uncertain, so it is difficult for us to make expectations. No matter how the political situation in the Philippines changes in the future, China will stick to its diplomatic philosophy and get along well with the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries in the war. If there are good people who want to make friends with our country, then we will not let them succeed, safeguard our national interests and never compromise with power. China is a friendly country, but on the premise of kindness, it also has its own spearhead. State relations and interpersonal relations are exactly the same, and they are mutual. If you respect me, I will definitely support you. If we meet people with a long history who bully our country, then we will definitely fight back with our best efforts.
