Vice President Leni Robredo has yet to decide what his plans for the 2022 elections will be.
In an interview with her on the online program “#Chooseday Tuesday” that aired on YouTube on Tuesday, Robredo only confirmed that she would remain in public service.
“Iyong sigurado ko lang na gusto ko pa din na public service-related, whether elected, whether appointed, iyon lang ang sigurado ko at this point. Iyon lang ang sigurado ko at this point,” she said.
On the other hand, Robredo admitted that she acknowledges the call of many supporters for her to run for a higher position in 2022.
She said that when she makes a decision, she will not put her personal preferences first.
“Ang default sa akin, iyong pag-run ng presidente, siguro dahil vice president ako ngayon. Kapag sinabi kong default, that’s what people expect me to do. And ako, sasabihin ko, ano naman ako, iyong sense of duty ko naman mataas. Ang gusto ko sabihin, hindi ko papairalin iyong personal na gusto ko. Halimbawa, gusto ko na magpahinga—talagang gusto ko magpahinga, talagang iyong mga anak ko, gusto nila, mas marami na akong oras sa kanila. Pero again, ako, iyong sense of duty ko naman mataas,” said Robredo.
Robredo has no decision yet on Election 2022
Robredo also said that she knows that it will be challenging for her to convince people of what the office can do.
According to the vice president, she is not in the habit of publicizing every program or project that her office does, so the survey shows that people think that she has done almost nothing for the government.
“Para sa akin, iyong mga nakakaalam ng ginagawa ko, parang sasabihin, ‘walang ginagawa?’ Pero ang reality kasi ganoon eh. Ang dami pa ding hindi nakakaalam. And I think it’s because of the political atmosphere,” she said.
Robredo is one of the opposition coalition’s 1Sambayan candidates for the presidency in 2022.
