Instead, the feisty mayor said she will seek re-election as chief executive of the city despite a recent survey showing her to be among the top 12 preferred potential senatorial candidates in a recent Pulse Asia survey.
“I am honored and overwhelmed by the trust of the people but I will run as mayor this coming election,” she said.
