Leni: Talks about 2028 a disservice to the peopleMANILA, Philippines — Politics took a backseat as Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo welcomed President Marcos to the city yesterday. From the get-go, Robredo made it clear that the visit was all about work and serving the people of Naga City. When asked about Vice President Sara Duterte’s announcement of her intention to run for president in 2028, the former vice president said she respects it. To talk about 2028, I think that is a disservice to the people,” Robredo added. Marcos and Robredo were rivals in the 2016 vice presidential and 2022 presidential race.
