These are the names Leni Robredo mentioned.
Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo mentioned several names that, for her, have the potential to become good leaders of the country.
Based on a previous article, former Vice President and now Naga Mayor clarified that she will no longer seek a national position in the upcoming election. Amid the calls for her to run for the presidency again in the next national polls, Robredo ruled out running for president in the 2028 elections.
“Aware naman ako na may mga gusto pang tumakbo ako… Ngayon, malayo na sa horizon ko. Malayo na sa horizon ko na babalik pa ako sa national,” the Naga mayor said. After declaring this, she encouraged the public to end the “savior” mentality that often clouds elections.
This kind of mindset accordingly hinders institutional growth and advises the public to instead look toward a new generation of leaders. Among the potential leaders whom she feels would be good are Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto and Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte. For her, they are capable.
Robredo said, “Sa grupo namin, si Risa, ilang beses na nagsabi na okay siya. Si Bam saka si Kiko, puwede naman, although nagsabi na sila na ayaw nila. Sa tingin ko, si Vico would make a good president; ang isyu lang talaga ay edad. Ang isa pang nakikita ko na mayor na would make a good president si Joy Belmonte. Maraming puwede.”
Meanwhile, Robredo is primarily focused now and in the coming years on Naga. She has a lot of plans for Naga, and these goals are too many to be accomplished in just one term.
“Ako most probably, magsi-seek pa ako ng second term [as Naga City mayor],” Robredo said on 91.1 DWNX FM.
