' Sorry I will Not Run' - Duterte

Everyone in the hall was shocked and sad as Mayor Rody Duterte officially announced that he will not run for President during the City Mayor's Office press conference at Grand Men Seng Hotel.

"Hindi ako tatakbo bilang Presidente. Wala akong ambisyon na maging Presidente" said the apologetic Mayor

"In 2016, I will retire for good" he added.

His supporters got emotional as Duterte turned down his thousands of supporters clamor as their candidate for 2016 election.

"Sya lang jud ang makatubag sa atong problema. Super sad kaayo mi sa deklarasyon ni Mayor" said a woman who cried while recording Duterte's short speech.

Duterte also said he had initial talk with her daughter Inday Sara Duterte to run for Mayor in Davao City next year. 

"I will ask her to run for Mayor" he said.

Yesterday, the camp of Duterte declared that he will have a big and important announcement 4pm today. This triggered his supporters from different organizations including the group of brgy.captains behind Rody For President movement to gather in the hotel's lounge waiting for a good news.

Despite of Duterte's rejection, his supporters remain positive that the Mayor will declare to run before the filing of candidacy this October.

" We are still hopeful. We still have enough time to change his mind" said National President for Duterte For Pres. Movement, Mar Masanguid.

In the past days, Mayor said that he most likely to run if he would get a nod from his family. Recently, Inday Sara expressed that she doesnt like his father to join the presidential race.

" I will just support leaders  who will go for federalism." Mayor said and left the hall without answering any further questions from the press. 

Some dignitaries were also seen at the hotel's restaurant waiting for Duterte's announcement.
