After the Vice President announced her presidential bid in 2028, minority Sen. Robin Padilla claimed that he will support Vice Pres. Sara Duterte for president in 2028 and Sen. Imee Marcos for vice president. The presidential Sister neither confirmed nor denied running for vice president in the next national polls.
“Diyos ko, si Robin talaga. Well, kung sa bagay, talagang forever running mate ko naman talaga ‘yan. Ah takbo, gapang, luhod, ah patayo, paupo, hindi ko naman siya kailanman iniwanan,” Marcos said.
