Marcos, Robredo to meet on Feb. 21
Manila Bulletin
|February 20, 2026
President Marcos will visit Naga City on Feb. 21, and is set to meet former Vice President and now Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo for a flood mitigation project, even as the Palace stressed that the 2028 elections are not on the President’s mind.
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro bared this amid online suggestions that the two former rivals should team up for the 2028 elections following Vice President Sara Duterte’s announcement that she would run for president in the next presidential elections.
In a press briefing on Friday, Feb. 19, Castro said the visit is part of the administration’s flood mitigation efforts.
