Actress Rita Avila has shared her candid thoughts regarding the possibility of former Vice President and current Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo running again for president in the 2028 elections.

In a Facebook post dated May 15, Avila responded to renewed calls from supporters urging Robredo to consider another presidential bid under the Leni-Kiko movement. However, the actress made it clear that she personally hopes Robredo will no longer pursue the highest government position.

According to Avila, Robredo deserves a peaceful life after her 2022 presidential defeat and should no longer be burdened by the demands and pressures of national leadership, especially amid what she described as a chaotic political environment.

“Hindi ko alam ang gusto ni Mayor Leni Robredo pero sana wag na shang tumakbo bilang Presidente sa 2028. Mapayapa na ang buhay niya ngayon,” Avila wrote in her post.

She further questioned what purpose another candidacy would serve, adding,

"Para ano para saluhin nya ang mga problemang iiwan sa kanya ng mga nakaupo ngayon? Siya pa pagbibintangan ng mga hunghang," she said.

Avila also voiced disappointment toward some voters, expressing frustration over what she sees as poor choices in leadership selection.

"Marami pa ring walang kwentang Pilipino na ayaw naman ng maayos na Presidente at maayos na bansa. Eh di maghirap tayo nang maghirap, magkagulo nang magkagulo, maghari-harian ang mga goons," she added.

She continued, "Baka pag nasa lusak na tayo, may mga dumilat. Yun nga lang, huli na. Lunod na. Ginusto nyo yan eh."

"Wag na natin idamay si Mayor Leni. Naipakita na niya ang kabutihan, kasipagan at katalinuhan nya. Wala na siyang papatunayan pa. Yung mga nagmamagaling, ano na?" she stressed.

Robredo previously ran for president in the 2022 elections but lost to Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., who is currently the President of the Philippines. Despite this, supporters continue to encourage her to make a political comeback in 2028, potentially facing Vice President Sara Duterte, who is widely speculated as a strong contender.
