Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio (English: /dəˈtɜːrteɪ/, Tagalog: [dʊˈtɛɾtɛ]; born May 31, 1978), commonly known as Inday Sara,[a][3][4] is a Filipino lawyer and politician who is the 15th and current vice president of the Philippines. She is the third female vice president, the third vice president to come from Mindanao, and the youngest vice president in Philippine history. A daughter of 16th president Rodrigo Duterte, she previously served as the mayor of Davao City from 2016 to 2022, and from 2010 to 2013. She was also Davao City's vice mayor from 2007 to 2010.
Duterte graduated from San Pedro College, initially aiming to pursue a medical career. She attended classes in the College of Law of San Beda College and eventually graduated in San Sebastian College – Recoletos. She was elected as Davao City's vice mayor in 2007, before eventually being elected as the city's mayor from 2010 until 2013, succeeding her father and becoming the youngest and the first female mayor of the city. After her first term ended, she took a brief hiatus, returning to politics in 2016 after being elected again as Davao City mayor and was reelected in 2019. During her second stint as mayor, she initiated the Byaheng DO30 and Peace 911 programs in the city, as well as overseeing the city government's COVID-19 pandemic response. Duterte was also an influential figure in national politics during her father's presidency, forming alliances with several political parties and playing a key role in the ouster of Pantaleon Alvarez as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2018.
Duterte ran for the vice presidency in 2022 under Lakas–CMD, becoming the running mate of Bongbong Marcos from the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas under the UniTeam Alliance. Their ticket won in a landslide victory, becoming the first running mate pair to win together since 2004, and the first to be elected by a majority since the establishment of the Fifth Republic in 1986. Duterte became the vice president on June 30, 2022, and was inaugurated 11 days earlier in Davao City.
As vice president, Duterte concurrently served as the secretary of education and as vice chairperson of an anti-insurgency task force (NTF-ELCAC) but resigned from both positions on June 19, 2024. Despite her initial electoral alliance with Marcos, political observers have noted her increasing absence from public appearances with the president correlating with a growing rift in the Marcos and Duterte political families.[5][6][7][8] By late August 2024, she has openly admitted her regret to supporting Marcos in the presidential election,[9] while Marcos himself later acknowledged that they have not spoken to each other since she handed in her resignation.[10] In November 2024, Duterte claimed that she had communicated with a contract killer to target president Marcos, his wife Liza and House Speaker Martin Romualdez in the event of herself being assassinated. The administration regarded this as an "active threat" to the government.
After her stage appearance at the Quirino Grandstand, Duterte left the 'Bagong Pilipinas' rally before the main program even started to fly to Davao City to attend the candlelight prayer rally against charter change.
Moving forward, Duterte said she will focus her efforts on her role as Vice President.
The last time I [Bongbong Marcos] spoke to her was when she handed me her resignation, and we haven't spoken since.
