"I can only dream of what I can be, I will never dream of what I cannot be,” the old Duterte said. Running for national post requires a lot of time, money and effort. He has money to run but he won’t use it politics as he is not getting younger.
He was also asked if he will still run and seek another term as mayor of Davao City and he just answered, "I can only dream."
"Damguhon ta na lang na kay naa ra bay galingkod basig matamparusan ta (I can only dream of that because somebody is already in that position, I might get slapped)," he jokingly replied.
