President Rodrigo Duterte's eldest daughter, Davao Mayor Sara Duterte, is the choice of a quarter of Filipino voters, if elections were held at the end of 2020, pollster Pulse Asia said.

Duterte-Carpio was the choice of 26% of 2,400 respondents in the Nov. 23 to Dec. 2 poll, Pulse Asia said. The Davao City mayor has not discussed her plans for 2022 and has kept a relatively low profile while helping out in recent typhoon relief efforts.
