But is this really his final answer?
On Sun, Sep 6, the camp of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said that he would be making an important announcement on Mon, Sep 7.
Sometime past 4pm on Mon, Sep 7, at Grand Men Seng Hotel in Davao City, Duterte had this to say when he was asked if he would run for President in 2016: “I am not running.”
“Amid public clamor urging him to run for president, Duterte has repeatedly said he was not interested in seeking the top national post because of a ‘flawed government system,’ opposition from his family, and lack of funds, among other reasons,” reports Yuji Vincent Gonzales on Inquirer.net.
The report recalled that “at a rally organized by the Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for President movement in Davao City in August, the tough-talking mayor told his supporters to give him ‘more time to decide.'”
