President Rodrigo Duterte may consider joining Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio's Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) party if he decides to run for vice president in next year's elections, Palace spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said on Thursday.

'Anything is possible. In the first place, hindi pa naman siguradong tatakbo ang Presidente (the President has not really decided if he will run for vice president next year). He's seriously thinking about it,' Roque said in a virtual press briefing.
