Sara Zimmerman Duterte-Carpio (born May 31, 1978), commonly known as Inday Sara, is a Filipino lawyer and politician who is the Vice President of the Philippines since 2022. She was the Mayor of Davao City from 2016 until 2022. She also was the city mayor from June 30, 2010, until June 30, 2013. She is the daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte. She is currently running for President of the Philippines in the 2028 presidential election.
With her father retiring from politics, Duterte was seen as a possible candidate for either President of the Philippines or Vice President of the Philippines in the 2022 election. In November 2021, she announced her candidacy as vice president. She was supported by the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas as their vice presidential candidate, making her the running mate of former Senator Bongbong Marcos.
Duterte was elected vice president in May 2022 in a landslide victory.
On May 11, 2022, Marcos announced that Duterte agreed to join his future cabinet as Department of Education secretary.
On February 5, 2025, Duterte was impeached by the House of Representatives. She became the first sitting vice president, as well as the fourth official in Philippine history, to be impeached.
