“I appreciate the trust and support of various groups encouraging me to run for a national post in the upcoming 2025 elections.

However, I want to make my position clear: I intend to finish my term as Mayor of Baguio City. My commitment remains steadfast to fulfilling our good governance pledge to the people of Baguio.

In my two consecutive terms as Mayor, we have worked tirelessly to address the needs and aspirations of our city, and I believe there is still much to be done.

The trust of our people and the opportunity to continue to serve is most important to me as a public servant. Thank you for your continued support.”
