Duterte told Philippine media that he based his decision, among other things, on polls. “The predominant feeling among Filipinos is that I am not qualified and that it would be a violation of the Constitution to run for Vice President.”
Under the Constitution, the President of the Philippines is not eligible for re-election. However, in political circles, it was taken into account that Duterte would like to become vice president.
