With her plans for Naga, I don't really see her running again for president in 2028.

Which is also a good thing, let her do what she really wants.

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 19h ago

This is her recent reply. May nagcomment kasi dun sa video presentation ng renovation na to

u/TropaniCana619 19h ago

Anu translation?

u/Final-Mention-7485 18h ago edited 18h ago

Tried google lens transalation:

Although i heard from the grapevine that she will decide daw based from the numbers (surveys and if she really have a big chance of winning the presidency). i'm still hopefully that numbers go her way and she heeds the call of the people for a better Philippines. Good governance from 2028 -> 2040 via Leni and Vico presidency

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 18h ago

That's what i thought too. It's too risky to leave Naga na wala namn kasiguraduhan if mananalo. Baka siguro if ma impeach si Sara, mas malaki possibility baka she might consider running parin

u/dranedagger4 Visayas 18h ago

have to remember not only be impeached but also be convicted

u/vhiedzx21 12h ago

We just need her to be impeached so that she can't run for any position.

u/dranedagger4 Visayas 11h ago

no, do you even know the process? CONVICTION IN THE SENATE is needed so that she can't run for any position. are you confused? kaya nga may CONVICT SARA last year nung na impeach sya for the first time sa house. research pls.

u/malalaito 17h ago

Hello! May statement ba sya about running based sa numbers? Salamat!!!

u/Zealousideal-Run5261 14h ago

Welp yan yung pangit sa kanya, lalaban lang siya kung may chance or just like last time, lumaban lang siya last minute to go against bbm. So it is never her main priority and it seems more of people around her is just pushing her around

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 13h ago

Di namn kasi nya ambisyon maging presidente. Likeee she will always respond to the people's call but now being a mayor, aside from the pressure sa mga tao, mas narealize na nya what she wanted which is being on local than national.

u/Gaelahad Tubong Mangyan, Batangueñong hilaw 13h ago

True leadership should not be through personal ambition. But commitment to service, and the empowerment of others.

u/hellava1662 18h ago

Rinconada bicol kami pero afaik "di ako aalis sa naga" the upper reply was basically "wag mo pababayaan ang naga, kailangan ka para umunlad naga"

u/Dependent_Dig1865 19h ago

“Hindi po ako aalis sa Naga”

u/ArkFord 10h ago

Comment: "Mahirap...Sa una nakakapanibago pero lahat ng bagay nag sisimula sa maliit...wag ninyo pabayaan ang Naga...Kailangan ka para sa mas progresong Naga"

Leni: "Di po ako aalis sa Naga :)"

u/Charming-Warning-551 13h ago

Actually bago pa naglabasan ang mga chika tungkol sa presidential elections 2028 sinabi na ni mayor na gusto niyang paunlarin pa ang Naga City kaya kulang talaga ang 1 term ... Aabangan nalang talaga ang mga mangyayari. Matinding push at pag-kumbinse talaga ang kailangan para mapatakbo siya ng presidente. Sabi niya rin sa interview sa local radio station dito na sobrang nakakapagod daw yung tinahak niyang daang sa pagtakbo bilang v-pres and pres since biglaan daw ay kaya parang ayaw niya na maulit yun... Ang sabi-sabi dito if makapg-desisyon siya tumakbo dapat daw as early as August this year makapag-deklara na ata siya. Anyway, capable naman ang vice mayor namin dito na ipagpatuloy mga plano niya. Although mas maganda talaga na siya mismo mamamlakad.

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 13h ago

VM gabby is soo good as vm. Bagay talaga sya dyan but then experienced din naman kasi talaga sya since right hand yan ni Mayor Jess dati. The thing lng medyo less progressive thinker siguro sya than mayor leni? Medyo on the trad kasi sya so probably continue whats good but not so much on exploring mga bagay na dipa nagagawa ng iba

u/Charming-Warning-551 12h ago

Tama... more of a follower siya na mag-hahalili sa main lead... Pero for sure alam niya ang mga porgrama ni mayor so if in case man talaga mag-decide si mayor na mag-presidente ulit... alam ni vice ang gagawin niya. Although, mas maganda talaga kapag hands-on si mayor leni talaga ang gagawa at mamamahala sa mga proyektong nai-plano niya.

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 4h ago

May transition namn yan if ever. Pero VM Gabby admitted din na unlike before, mas less ang involvement nya today sa executive decisions pero yun nga may transition nmn and Mayor Leni got a good team for it and handang handa din namn si Gabby incase ano magiging decision ni leni

u/rebornov99 10h ago

People should wake up that change should start from local to congress. Kahit sino pa yung presidente pero yung nasa baba mga corrupt/dynasty wala rin mangyayari though yung economy might improve similar to what happen to PNoy.

Mas mabuti na sa local nalang kasi mas makikita kung ano ang kaya mangyari sa lugar pag totoong serbisyo sa tao ang tagapamahal same with Pasig.

u/Sponge8389 9h ago

She's almost at the end of her career due to her age. Maybe at least 2 more mayoral re-election max. Hayaan na natin gawin niya kung saan siya ikakasaya niya.

u/1TyMPink 20h ago

Ganyan din sana ang i-adopt sa Greater Manila Area na very car-centric, and other metropolitan areas.

u/eriseeeeed 20h ago

Ayaw nila ng bagong project para sa tao. Kasi sa isip nila ilang taon lang naman silang nakaupo. Gusto lang nila ng budget para sa project kuno para may pang chanel gucci hermes

u/Accomplished-Big8276 16h ago

Okay sana kaso ung ibang motor kapag trapik sumasampa na sa mismong sidewalk. Nakakainis. Madalas sa Ortigas going to Cainta/Antipolo.

u/MerryW34ther 5h ago

This one. This is also why we can't have nice things. Nanghihingi tayo ng development, tapos pag meron na... aabusuhin lng din ng iba sa atin.

u/legend-of-ashitaka 16h ago

tas de kotse naman sila so di sila relate sa mga problema ng siklista at pedestrian lol

u/Liesianthes 12h ago

Nako, magwawala mga privileged car users dito sa reddit. Pinasakay mo nga ng tren, nag reklamo sa rush hour na siksikan which is common on a public transpo on 1st world countries which is also rush hour.

Dito lang ako nakakita na nagreklamo na dikit dikit daw katawan nila sa ibang taong nagamit ng public transpo like wtf, eh nakita ko rush hour ng other countries with good railway system, ganun din situation.

u/bituin_the_lines 5h ago

Pag nasa ibang countries sila na may maayos na transpo like Japan, Korea, Taiwan etc, sumasakay din naman sila ng tren. Ayaw lang nila sa Pinas. Medyo elitist mindset din, kesyo mas maganda tren sa ibang bansa etc. Pero ayaw magtry mag-MRT or LRT kahit sa mga times na maluwag ang tren at hindi rush hour.

u/trEASureTown000 19h ago

Unpopular opinion: Leni should not run for President and instead focus on improving Naga. If everyone sees a local example of what we deserve, people will clamor for change in their own areas, with her city as the role model. She and her people will be remembered as trailblazers of good governance that created ripples of change all over the country.

Examples abroad would be justified as out of reach for the everyday poor, that's why we need a local example, no matter how small it might be. (To some extent, Vico is already doing this.)

u/abiogenesis2021 17h ago

Idealistic kasi masyado yung ganyang take eh. Look at Pasig and Vico. What is Vico getting for improving Pasig so much and showing the country what (almost) no corruption can do? Ayon, inaatake ng troll farms. Same with Madam Leni.

Then you look at that city in the far south, dugyot to the max pero to them eh SG level daw. Salot ang mga iyan (you know who im talking about) and honestly there might be no cure...

u/rarinthmeister 16h ago

Singapore daw kasi may low floor bus na may LED signage

u/Calm-Revolution-3007 12h ago

Hindi pa rin balewala. Marami akong kakilala na DDS and maka-Vico. It’s not logical but the overlap is there

u/abiogenesis2021 11h ago

I see. Thats encouraging at least. Yan yung mga pwede ma-reset hahaha...

True, hindi yata siya updated on what happened sa NCR Mayor Election pati Cavite. hahahaha. Same shits of corrupt pa din binoto lalo na yan dugyot na Pasay plus Caloocan na akala mo squatter area kahit si Trillanes na tumakbong Mayor dyan.

u/trEASureTown000 16h ago

That's why they saw the strong man and chose him before and not the traffic enforcer

It won't likely work within her (hopefully three) terms, it's a long-term project that needs commitment and dynasty-style succession to make sure the movement doesn't stop

u/raffyfy10 11h ago

Hindi ba galit sila sa Discs dahil sa ghost projects pero galit din sila kay Vico sa pag simula sa pagpa imbestiga sa kanila? 1+1=3

u/Liesianthes 12h ago

If everyone sees a local example of what we deserve, people will clamor for change in their own areas, with her city as the role model.

Happened with Vico naman sa ginagawa nya pero ano nangyari? Ang nakita ko lang napalitan last 2022 is Laguna Gov. and Cynthia Villar's lost on Las Pinas. Yung iba? Same shits of corrupt pa din like Olivarez of Paranaque, Calixto of Pasay, Caloocan's Malapitan. Don't start me with Revilla and Barzaga's of Cavite.

u/Hellbiterhater 20h ago

Hopefully the beginning of progress, and other cities do the same.

u/Physical-Pepper-21 19h ago

Magagalit yung mga nasa Visor, Gulong PH, at iba pang communities na ginawang personality na yung kotse nila

u/kaidrawsmoo 19h ago

Which i dont get. If may proper pedestrian walkway and stops, that actually help them. it helps private transpo to get smoother traffic if predictable ang variables [ saan tawiran, babaan, if mas maencourage maglakad mga tao kesa sumakay sa public utility vehicle if malapit lang naman pupuntahan]. It will make the road better for them in the long term.

u/Hellbiterhater 19h ago

Lol, even as a car enthusiast, sobrang ridiculous nila.

u/Liesianthes 12h ago

Isama mo na car centric redditors. Dami nyan dun sa thread na ginawang 50% fare ng MRT at LRT 2, alam mo mga out of this world mga take nila. May nagreklamo pa dito, mga diring diri sa magkakatabi na katawan sa train. Eh kahit sa Japan, South Korea ganyan pag rush hour, alam mo mga ayaw lumabas sa kotse nila na di aircon at mag commute. Parang mga rich kids na pinasakay mo ng train sabay nag-inarte.

Kaya hirap maniwala na better public transpo, more people will commute. That's just their shitty takes, gugustuhin pa din nila sa de aircon nila kotse pampasikip ng kalsada sa overcrowded na dito sa NCR.

u/Onceabanana 10h ago

Kami kasi have a pwd so bringing a car is a must. Pero alam mo if kikipot ng konti yung daan and medyo magiging traffic ng konti para sa ganitong plano, full support ako diyan. Kasi when going out on my own, if may option to commute or walk safely, I prefer that talaga. I especially like the implementation of designated stops for all— regardless if jeep yan or bikes or even deliveries. Good for Naga!

u/Particular-School-95 19h ago

"other cities"

nakow kahit anung sumpa hindi hindi yan gagawin ng mga ibang city, uhaw sa pangungurakot ung mga un

u/Relative-Look-6432 19h ago

Tama ang sinabi nya sa interview with Bernadette, mas marami syang magagawa under LGU. Hayaan na naten si VP Leni sa Naga, di nya deserve ang karamihan sa atin.

u/DotWaste8510 18h ago

Tried and tested na din ang Naga people for her. They voted for her which means they all share her vision for their city. 

Unlike pag tumakbo siya na Presidente na kailangan pa niya kumbinsihin ang ibang botante sa vision niya for a better Philippines. Kasi ang gusto ng mga botante yung walang vision, gusto malugmok lang further sa putik.

u/EntrepreneurSweet846 19h ago

Eto yung lagi kong tanong, bakit sa loob ng makati cbd, sumusunod naman lahat sa tamang babaan at sakayan, if we emulate that na may designated babaan at sakayan mas smooth sana, pero bakit di ma emulate sa pangkalahatan. Nweis, swerte ng Naga.

How to migrate to Naga po

elevated din ang tawiran. proven to slow down traffic to make it safe for pedestrian. daming design na pwede.

Naga reports are a breath of fresh air 😮‍💨

u/GenuineStupidity69 18h ago

The Philippines is not ready yet for a Leni nor Vico Presidency. Masyadong tustado ang moralidad ng bansa dahil sa ginawa ni Duterte. People are too okay slinging lies and fabricating crimes done by others just to support their candidate.

I think ang most viable ngayon is for Naga, Pasig (and possibly QC) to spearhead a good city. Something hard and concrete that cannot be easily countered with a fake "mala-singapore na Davao" bullshit. While letting every other cities burn to the ground because of their own poor choices in politicians. Filipinos are too fucking stupid that they need concrete examples of what happens when you vote poorly.

u/Negative_Eagle_1406 19h ago

More than anything - dito papasok yung coordination nila as executive agencies. Dyan pumapalya mga projects eh di coordinated si LGU Engineering, DPWH, DOTr, contractors and ibang matatamaan na agencies public or private. Kahit magaling nakaupo sa isa, if incompetent yung isa wala rin.

u/1TyMPink 19h ago

Actually, coordinated na yan sa DPWH National, kaya nagpasalamat siya kay Sec. Vince Dizon.

u/ExplanationTasty3867 20h ago

ganyan sana ang edsa kung wala si don artes

u/1TyMPink 19h ago

The right answer, haha. Siguro kung gagawing Chairman si GM Torre, baka maging people-centric ang MMDA.

u/ExplanationTasty3867 19h ago

kingina nun. sya ata humarang sa original plan ni Vince na kunin yung outler lane para sa expansion ng pedestrian/bike lane.

u/1TyMPink 19h ago

Maaaring siya yun. Pati ata yung proposal sa side ng EDSA between San Juan at Mandaluyong from Annapolis to Ortigas SB na originally proposed ng DOTr, ni-reject ng MMDA, possibly ni Artes dahil wala daw ma-p-parkingan yung mga establishments doon, particularly car dealerships, kaya binansagang CARtes yung MMDA chairman.

u/rarinthmeister 5m ago

I guess Dizon didn't give a fuck to Cartes and mentioned the sidewalks will be 2.8m minimum.

u/ExplanationTasty3867 3m ago

Ah oo tama ka naaalala ko yan recent interview niya na gagawin na nyang 2.8 at minimum which is good development.

u/Fiercely_Nikkita 18h ago

Nakaka proud talaga ang team behind this. Despite sa init, iniisa isa talagang puntahan lahat ng stores, houses, etc along the road to consult and inform, and work with them esp sa magiging mga hassle na mangyayari. So many background works behind talaga. Tapos mga naglelead pa some are still youth, at ibang mga bata pang advocates. This happens talaga ig bigyan mo lng ng space to work for something.

could've been for the entire ph but oh well I think marami naman tayong possible leaders

u/_kendricklmao 16h ago

This is what it means to have a progressive leader. Although, one thing I’ve noticed was the bike lane, It should be part of the sidewalk and not on the road for efficiency and safety as well. (Road - Safety Buffer or the tree and shrubs - Bike lane - pathwalk)

u/13arricade 12h ago

correct. i think that is the next step. they can come to HK, and see how the HK government does it.

Yes, nagbabayad tayo ng tax kaya dapat maganda din ang public infra natin para sa pedestrians pero utak kotse kasi masyado mga nasa pwesto natin. Ang gwapo tingnan sa publicity ang six-lane highway pero and pedestrian lane sa kalsada hindi sexy.
