Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio (Tagalog pronunciation: [dʊˈtɛɾtɛ ˈkaɾpjo]; May 31, 1978),[1] commonly known as Inday Sara, is a Filipina lawyer and politician who is the Vice President of the Philippines since 2022. She was the Mayor of Davao City from 2016 until 2022. She also was the city mayor from June 30, 2010, until June 30, 2013.[2] She is the daughter of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte.

2022 vice presidential campaign

With her father retiring from politics, Duterte was seen as a possible candidate for either President of the Philippines or Vice President of the Philippines in the 2022 election. In November 2021, she announced her candidacy as vice president.[3] She was supported by the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas as their vice presidential candidate, making her the running mate of former Senator Bongbong Marcos.[4]

Duterte was elected vice president in May 2022 in a landslide victory.[5]

Vice presidency

On May 11, 2022, Marcos announced that Duterte agreed to join his future cabinet as Department of Education secretary.[6]

Personal life

On October 9, 2021, Duterte tested positive for COVID-19.[7]

On March 10, 2022, she talked about her sexuality and said she was part of the LGBT community, with her gender expression being male and sexuality being female.[8]

In April 2018, Duterte said that she was once a rape victim, in response to her father's comments about rape.[9] However, her father ignored her comment and called her a "drama queen".[10]
