Marcos Jr. open to VP bid in 2022

Former Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has not ruled out running for vice president again in the 2022 elections.

Marcos stated that he wants to maintain his presence at the national level and is open to joining the ruling PDP-Laban party.

He previously mentioned that he would run for president if he perceived sufficient support, emphasizing the importance of alliances and local leader engagement.

However, the decision hinges on the evolving political landscape and potential candidacies, including that of President Duterte.

Marcos lost his 2016 vice presidential bid against Leni Robredo, a decision later upheld by the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.
