That&#x27;s pure speculation. I don&#x27;t think Sara will agree to that kind of a set-up. Term sharing for presidency? That&#x27;s a very bad idea,&quot; he told TeleRadyo.A 6-year presidential term is &quot;not enough to do the things you really want for this country&quot; more so if it&#x27;s only half of it, Del Rosario said.&quot;Kung tatanungin niya ako, huwag na lang siyang tumakbo ng Presidente,&quot; he added.(If she would ask me, don&#x27;t run for President anymore.)<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/11/12/21/lakas-exec-claims-sara-bongbong-may-share-presidency">Term sharing? Lakas official claims Sara, Bongbong may agree to share presidency</a></li></ul>On Thursday, Lakas-CMD co-chairman and Quezon Governor Danilo Suarez said Duterte-Carpio and former Sen. Ferdinand &quot;Bongbong&quot; Marcos Jr. might agree to share the presidency.&quot;They can have a term-sharing agreement. One will lead for 3 years then give way to the vice president. So, one will give up the position after 3 years,&quot; he said in Filipino, citing Marcos&#x27; supposed strong showing in surveys.This comes as the President&#x27;s daughter pledged her allegiance to the Lakas-CMD party, boosting speculation that she would run for the country&#x27;s highest post in 2022.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/11/21/halalan-2022-sara-duterte-joins-lakas-cmd-a-step-closer-to-substitution">Halalan 2022: Sara Duterte joins Lakas-CMD, a step closer to substitution</a></li></ul>A day before she officially joined Lakas, she resigned from HNP, a regional party she founded in 2018.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/11/21/sara-duterte-quits-regional-party-hugpong">Sara Duterte quits regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago</a></li></ul>Prior to this, the Davao City mayor also withdrew her candidacy for a reelection bid, barely a week before the poll body&#x27;s deadline to substitute for an official candidate of a political party or coalition who withdrew.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/11/11/21/hugpong-surprised-by-saras-party-exit-says-may-run-for-pres-vp">Hugpong &#x27;surprised&#x27; by Sara Duterte&#x27;s departure from party</a></li></ul>In the interview, Del Rosario said the party was &quot;surprised&quot; Duterte-Carpio resigned from HNP without telling party members beforehand.But he said the party would continue to support the city mayor whether she would run as president or vice president.&quot;We wanted her to do it before Oct. 8 but unfortunately a lot of things happen. She wasn&#x27;t able to do that. She instead filed for mayor,&quot; he said.&quot;We were also happy she made that decision but of course we were happier now she changed her mind. She&#x27;s now gunning for a national position in 2022.&quot;<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1827798" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
