    About

    Sara Duterte

    Sara Duterte-Carpio (born Sara


    Zimmerman Duterte; May 31, 1978),
    commonly known as Inday Sara, is a
    Filipina lawyer, politician and the incumbent
    Mayor of Davao City. She also served as
    the city mayor from June 30, 2010 until
    June 30, 2013. Prior to her mayoral term,
    she has also served as vice mayor of
    Davao City from June 30, 2007 to June 30,
    2010. She is the daughter of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte.

    EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION

    Sara Duterte was born in Davao City on May 31, 1978, the second child to lawyer
    Rodrigo Duterte and flight attendant Elizabeth Zimmerman.

    Since her youth, Duterte had a fierce and independent character, leading to a "love-hate
    relationship" with her father when she was a student due to her disapproval for his
    womanizing tendencies and late night activities. Despite this, Rodrigo considered Sara
    to be his favorite child, and placed high value on the education she and her brothers
    received.

    Sara Duterte attended San Pedro College, majoring in BS Respiratory Therapy, and
    graduated in 1999; in her inaugural speech as Mayor of Davao City, Duterte said she
    originally wanted to be a pediatrician instead of a politician. She later took up a law
    degree at the San Sebastian College – Recoletos and graduated in May 2005. In 2006,
    Duterte passed the Philippine Bar Examination.

    POLITICAL CAREER

    City Mayor of Davao

    Duterte-Carpio is Davao City's first woman mayor and the youngest to have been
    elected to the position in the political history of Davao City after she switched roles with
    her father Rodrigo Duterte from 2010-2013 as mayor and vice-mayor, respectively.
    Vowing to be “useful and to serve the country at all times,” Duterte, the vice-mayor in
    the three years prior, assumed the post that her father Rodrigo held for over 20 years.
    Sara won over House Speaker Prospero Nograles, her father's political rival, in a lead of
    200,000 votes in the 2010 elections. Nograles earlier filed a protest at the Commission
    on Elections in Manila questioning the results, stating that there was a conspiracy of
    local poll officials. Duterte was also one of the nine elected governors of the Philippine
    Red Cross in 2014.

    In October 2015, she shaved her head to convince her father to run for President in the
    2016 Philippine presidential elections, despite the latter's reticence due to lack of
    campaign funds and political machinery.

    She ran again for the mayoralty post for Davao City in the 2016 elections and won the
    position succeeding her father, now the current president, for the second time.
