Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio (Tagalog pronunciation: [dʊˈtɛɾtɛ ˈkaɾpjo]; May 31, 1978),[1] commonly known as Inday Sara, is a Filipina lawyer and politician serving as the mayor of Davao City since 2016, and previously from 2010 to 2013.[2] Prior to her mayoral term, she served as vice mayor of Davao City from 2007 to 2010. She is the daughter of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte.

Early life and education

Sara Zimmerman Duterte was born in Davao City on May 31, 1978, the second child to then-lawyer later president Rodrigo Duterte and flight attendant Elizabeth Zimmerman.

Since her youth, Duterte had a fierce and independent character, leading to a "love-hate relationship" with her father when she was a student due to her disapproval for his womanizing tendencies and late night activities.[3][4] Despite this, Rodrigo considered Sara to be his favorite child,[3] and placed high value on the education she and her brothers received.[4]

Duterte attended San Pedro College, majoring in BS Respiratory Therapy, and graduated in 1999;[5] in her inaugural speech as Mayor of Davao City, Duterte said she originally wanted to be a pediatrician instead of a politician.[6] She later took up a law degree at the San Sebastian College – Recoletos and graduated in May 2005.[7]

In 2006, Duterte passed the Philippine Bar Examination.[7]

She is a reserve officer in the Armed Forces of the Philippines with the rank of Colonel.[8]

Political career

Duterte being interviewed by the ABS-CBN News Crew on March 12, 2009, when she was still Vice Mayor.

City Mayor of Davao

Duterte-Carpio is Davao City's first female mayor and the youngest to have been elected to the position in the political history of Davao City after she switched roles with her father Rodrigo Duterte from 2010 to 2013 as mayor and vice-mayor, respectively. Vowing to be “useful and to serve the country at all times,” Duterte, the vice-mayor in the three years prior, assumed the post that her father Rodrigo held for over 20 years.[9] Sara won over House Speaker Prospero Nograles, her father's political rival, in a lead of 200,000 votes in the 2010 elections. Nograles earlier filed a protest at the Commission on Elections in Manila questioning the results, stating that there was a conspiracy of local poll officials.[10]

Duterte was also one of the nine elected governors of the Philippine Red Cross in 2014.[11]

In October 2015, she shaved her head to convince her father to run for President in the 2016 Philippine presidential elections, despite the latter's reticence due to lack of campaign funds and political machinery.[12][13]

She ran again for the mayoralty post for Davao City in the 2016 elections and won the position, succeeding her father for the second time.[citation needed]

Two years into his term, Sara Duterte's father, President Rodrigo Duterte, announced that he wanted his daughter to succeed him.[14] The Dutertes have supported political dynasties in the Philippines, stating that their nearly four decades of uncontested rule in Davao as a product of "democratic" process.[15][16]

About two months after her father's proclamation of Sara Duterte as his "successor", Sara Duterte launched the "Tapang at Malasakit" (lit.'Courage and Compassion') movement composed of Duterte supporters and allies. Sara Duterte denied that it has anything to do with any campaign or position, but pundits stated that it was part of her plans to gain political traction for future campaigns and an attempt to rally political allies against Senator Antonio Trillanes' Tindig Pilipinas ("Be Upright, Philippines").[17][18][19]

On October 18, 2018, after having alternated for two decades in the mayor's and vice-mayor office of Davao, she resubmitted her candidacy to the mayor's office of Davao.[20][21] She said in interview that she does not intend to withdraw her COC as city mayor and request for a substitution to run for a national post, similar to what President Rodrigo Duterte did before in the 2016 presidential elections.[22] However, many political commentators referred to her preparations to run for the Senate and even saw her as the future president of the Philippines.[23][24]

Vice presidential bid

On July 9, 2021, Duterte-Carpio said that she was open to run for president. However, there was no final decision yet.[25] On September 9, 2021, she said that she is not running for president since her father, President Duterte was running for vice president, and they agreed that only one of them will run on a national position.[26] While President Duterte did not file his candidacy for vice president, Duterte-Carpio filed her candidacy for re-election on October 2, 2021.[27]

On November 9, 2021, Duterte-Carpio withdrew her candidacy for reelection as Davao City mayor.[28] Her brother Sebastian, incumbent vice mayor of Davao City, will run in her stead.[29] On November 11, she resigned from Hugpong ng Pagbabago, the party that she had founded in 2018, and later joined Lakas–CMD.[30][31] She joined Lakas while in Silang, Cavite, where she attended the wedding of Gianna Revilla-Patricio, the daughter of party chairman and Senator Bong Revilla, as one of the wedding sponsors.[32] On November 13, she filed her candidacy for vice president, substituting Lyle Uy, who withdrew from the race.[33] She was then adopted and endorsed by Partido Federal ng Pilipinas as their vice presidential candidate, making her the running mate of former Senator Bongbong Marcos.[34]

Personal life

Duterte has been married since October 27, 2007 to her fellow lawyer Manases "Mans" R. Carpio, whom she met while she was attending San Beda University.[3] They have three children: an adopted daughter, Mikhaila María, nicknamed "Sharky", and two sons, Mateo Lucas, nicknamed "Stingray", and Marko Digong, nicknamed "Stonefish".[35] Manases, a nephew of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales and Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,[36][37] is a legal counsel for Lapanday Foods Corporation.[38][39]

On April 18, 2016, in connection with the rape remark made by her father Rodrigo on one of his presidential candidacy campaigns, Duterte took to her Instagram account to admit that she was once a rape victim.[40] However, Rodrigo Duterte dismissed his daughter's admission and referred to her as a "drama queen".[41] In August 2018, her father remarked about the high statistics of rape cases in Davao,[42] joking that there are "many beautiful women" in Davao, which explains the high rate.[43] Sara responded by defending her father, asking the critics what good they have done for Davao,[44] compared to her family's governance.
