Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 4) Senator Kiko Pangilinan, president of the Liberal Party, on Thursday said the political party is still considering fielding Vice President Leni Robredo as their presidential candidate in the 2022 elections.
Robredo is the party’s highest-ranking official. Pangilinan, however, said nothing is final yet.
“But she herself has said wala siyang desisyon (she hasn’t made a decision to run). Marami pang puwede mangyari (A lot can happen), Pangilinan said in a media briefing. But in the meantime, let us just focus on how we can help address this pandemic and economic crisis,” he added.
