During his interview with Boy Abunda on Fast Talk, the celebrity son opened up about the possibility of following the footsteps of his relatives, several of whom have held prominent positions in government.
His grandmother, former President Corazon Aquino, and uncle, the late former President Benigno Aquino III, both served as the country's chief executives. Meanwhile, his uncle, Bam Aquino, is currently serving as a senator.
Bimby admitted that his interest in public service comes from the values instilled in him by his mother and other members of their family. However, he also recognizes that entering politics requires considerable sacrifices.

“I have to be honest, a big part of my heart is really leaning towards public service… Mom has always taught me–– and everyone in our family–– it’s a very big sacrifice also,” Bimby shared.
He further explained that pursuing a political career is not something he would decide on without carefully considering its consequences. According to him, the responsibility extends beyond his personal life because it also involves the welfare of the people he would potentially represent.
“You really have to think about it carefully because it’s not just you–– it’s a very big responsibility because you hold the keys to everyone,” he explained.
When discussing how he would approach a possible career in politics, Bimby revealed that he would rather begin at the local level instead of immediately pursuing a national position.
He also drew inspiration from his grandfather, the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr., who served as the country's youngest elected vice governor during his time.
“I prefer to start local. Iba talaga ang boots on the ground,” he added.
Toward the end of their conversation, Boy asked Bimby whether he believed he could become the President of the Philippines someday.
"At 40 Bim, can you be the president of The Republic of the Philippines?"
The young celebrity did not hesitate to express his confidence when answering the question.
“Absolutely,” he replied.
Although Bimby has yet to announce any concrete plans to pursue an elective position, his statements revealed his openness to a future in public service and his preference for gaining experience at the grassroots level.
