Former Vice President Leni Robredo on Thursday reaffirmed her commitment to public service but expressed doubts about running again for an elected post in the government.

In the International Tax Conference held in Makati City Thursday afternoon, Robredo was asked about her plans in public service.

“Hindi naman ako mawawala sa public service pero ‘yong elected position, malaking question mark,” Robredo said.

More than a year after her presidential bid in 2022, Robredo’s name was included in a Social Weather Stations survey for presidential bets for 2028, where she emerged as one of the top bets alongside incumbent Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Raffy Tulfo.

Fair on her she has been the punching bag of the previous and current administration, apparently being transparent is not a team player, her style of governenance might be foreign in the Philippines, people just cant seem to accept it.

Basically, ayaw niya ma "Binay" and it's just 1 year since the Election so too early to even start.

Maybe just push her NGO siguro. Make it the same level as Red Cross where Red Cross = to Gordon in a way. Grassroots ika nga. Then market it so. Ala kony 2012 😅.
