The Palace maintained on Friday, July 6, that President Rodrigo Duterte has no desire to stay in office beyond his term which will end in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cPRRD (President Rodrigo Roa Duterte) has repeatedly said: not a second beyond his term in 2022. He has said what he said: not a second longer,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said in a message sent to reporters.<\/p>\n

Roque issued his remarks after Julio Teehankee, chairman of the Consultative Committee’s (Con-com’s) sub-committee on political reforms, said Duterte and Vice President Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo can seek reelection under the proposed federal government constitution.<\/p>\n

“There’s no ban. They can run under a new constitution kasi parang<\/em> reboot ‘yan eh<\/em> (because it is like a reboot), it’s a reset,” Teehankee said in an interview on One News’ “The Chiefs” on Wednesday, July 4.<\/p>\n

Under the proposed charter, Teehankee noted that all elected officials \u2014 from the President down to mayors \u2014 will have a four-year term with one reelection. If this will be ratified in 2022, Duterte can stay in power until 2030.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive has repeatedly said he has no plans on staying in office beyond his prescribed six-year term.<\/p>\n

In his speech in Marawi City last May, Duterte announced he was ready to step down once the Philippines has shifted to a federal form of government<\/p>\n

“Ako naman, kung matapos \u2018yang<\/em> BBL (Bangsamoro Basic Law) o \u2018yang<\/em> federalism, sabi ko nga<\/em>, by 2020, kung nandiyan na \u2018yan at magsabi na kailangan ng eleksyon na bago <\/em>(For me, if the BBL or federalism will be completed by 2020, if it is in place and requires new election), I will step down,” Duterte said in a speech in Marawi City last May.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood for 2022 pa ako. Pero pagka may<\/em> federal set-up na, baba ako. Bigay ko na sa \u2014 Mamili kayo ng <\/em>leader ninyo <\/em>(I\u2019m still good until 2022. But once there is already a federal set-up, I will step down. I will hand it to \u2014 you choose your leader).<\/em> I\u2019m ready to retire,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Duterte previously said he hopes to have an election where good leaders will come out to lead the new federal government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
