Senator Robin Padilla is being encouraged by former Rowena Guanzon and others to run for vice president in the 2028 elections, especially if he chooses not to seek reelection to the Senate. Guanzon noted Padilla’s popularity in Mindanao and Luzon, suggesting a tandem with Vice President Sara Duterte could be strategically strong. Padilla’s wife, Mariel Rodriguez, previously indicated that he prefers to avoid the daily conflicts of Senate work. In response, Padilla expressed deep gratitude to Guanzon and Justice Noel Tijam, praising their intellect and integrity. Observers see the proposal as a potential path for Padilla to continue public service while leveraging his broad regional appeal.
