Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo has reiterated that she has no plans to run for president in the 2028 elections or return to national politics.
In an interview Monday, Nov. 9, Robredo said she had made the decision long before running for mayor of Naga City and had already decided not to leave the city.
The mayor also said most of those encouraging her to run again in the national elections were her former allies during the 2022 elections.
However, she said she had already communicated her final decision to them.
Robredo also clarified that she did not discuss the 2028 elections with Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.
She likewise denied having any discussions with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. about a possible return to national politics or her participation in the next presidential race.
Her latest statement reiterates her position that she intends to remain in Naga City rather than pursue another national political position.
Robredo’s remarks put to rest speculation about a possible presidential bid in 2028, as she maintains her decision to stay in local government.
