AFTER 30 years in the country’s political arena, 54-year old Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said he plans to retire from politics.
“To dispel any rumors that may arise, I would like to make it clear that I will not be running for any public office in 2028,” Zubiri said in a statement released on Monday.
“And I am in fact contemplating on my retirement from almost 30 years of politics,” the statement read.
Zubiri thanked Pulse Asia for including him in their last survey for
the 2028 Vice Presidential race, which showed the Senate leader
getting seven percent popularity.
“I would like to thank my kababayans from Mindanao and the Visayas for their support, making up 14 percent and 8 percent of my Pulse Asia numbers, respectively.”
“Rest assured that my last four years of service will be dedicated to uplifting the lives of every Filipino through meaningful legislation,” he added.
Zubiri related that whatever survey results showing positive reviews for him and for the Senate is a testament to the chamber’s “undying desire to render quality service to our people.”
