but he refused. He claimed that he informed Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. about it.

the DILG Secretary said.

. According to him, he might even increase it if he gets mad. Recently, he was asked about the possibility of running for president in 2028.
“I’ve been debating it… It’s possible. I know what to do for the country. [My] experience at the DILG has really honed my skill for running this,”
the DILG Chief said.
