Kung tatakbong Gobernador si Aika, VP Leni, Magre-retiro na sa Politika

Vice President Leni Robredo said she is ready to retire from politics if her daughter Aika tries to enter politics.

In an interview with GMA News, Vice President Robredo said that two members of their family cannot be in politics at the same time because it is in their ‘rules’. There are also rumors that Aika plans to become the governor of Camarines Sur.

“Sinasabihan ko nga si Aika, sinasabihan ko na siya na, ‘O, pinapakiusapan na naman ako na mag-kandidato ka.’ Sabi ko, ‘Kung gusto mo, ikaw na. Magre-retire na ako. Tutulong na lang ako sa iyo pero hindi puwedeng sabay tayo.’ Pero sabi ng anak ko, ayaw niya,” according to Robredo.

If Aika decided to run as a governor, she will be opposing the current governor of Camarines Sur Miguel “Migz” Villafuerte who is a well-known ally of the current administration.

Robredo also allegedly thought that instead of running for President, she just returned in serving the local government.

“Noong kinausap ako ngayon na kung puwede akong magkan—ay, kung puwede raw si Aika kumandidato ng governor, ang sabi ko bakit si Aika? Bakit hindi ako? So sa akin siya nagsimula,” said Robredo.

It is not yet known what position in the government Robredo will run for. It will be recalled that the Vice President scored low in some presidential surveys.
