'Tatakbo ba?': Robredo to make decision 'hopefully within September'
Vice President Leni Robredo is nearing her decision on whether to run for president in the May 2022 elections, expressing hope for a public announcement within September.
She stated that while no decision has been made yet, the current month is critical for her to make up her mind.
Robredo mentioned that her decision-making process was postponed due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases.
She hopes the surge will subside before October 8, the deadline for filing certificates of candidacy, to allow for further discussions.
Previously, she indicated a decision would be made by October 8 and intended to focus on her office's COVID-19 response programs until then.
Robredo has expressed openness to a presidential run but concerns about limited resources and has not consistently ranked high in pre-election polls.
