Garcia said she is more needed by Cebu especially that the province is still trying to recover from the ill-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In rejecting the call of the “Gwen for Senator: Ang Probinsyana, Run Gwen Run” movement, Garcia announced that she will seek reelection in next year’s elections.
“I have no intentions whatsoever of seeking national office. Read my lips, I’m running for governor again because I feel I am more needed here in the province of Cebu at this time and in the next years that will follow as we tried to recover from this pandemic,” Garcia said.

Convenors of the “Gwen for Senator: Ang Probinsyana, Run Gwen Run” movement said they believed Garcia has shown the capabilities that will make her a good Senator.
