President Rodrigo Duterte is thinking over his party's call for him to run as vice president in next year's elections, Malacañang said on Tuesday.

Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. made the statement after the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban), headed by Duterte, voted to come up with a resolution urging the Chief Executive to run for vice president in the 2022 polls.
