Christopher Wu rejected the presidential nomination at that time.
After submitting the candidate qualification certificate, Christopher Wu said at the scene that President duterte decided not to run for the next vice president, so he took over the challenge and competed for the vice president in the 2022 general election. He will continue a series of policies of the duterte government, including combating drugs and corruption, promoting the "great construction and special construction" plan, realizing economic recovery and improving employment under the epidemic situation.
