Her announcement she has no presidential ambitions could either be a masterstroke of political strategy or simply her version of playing hard to get – if history is any guide, the latter might be more likely.After all, as Sara herself has pointed out, her “only dream” was to be mayor of Davao City for three consecutive terms.After all, managing a city known for its night markets and strict curfews is clearly much more thrilling than running an entire country.
