VP Leni says she has no time for dating someone

- By MERLINA MALIPOT

Vice President Leni Robredo has dismissed speculatio­ns about her love life and dating status, saying she’s had enough love to last for a lifetime.

In an interview with “Basta Batas” program, Robredo

has ruled out the possibilit­y of being romantical­ly involved with someone else a er spending 25 years of "blessed" marriage with the late Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo.

“I’ve always wanted to discuss this because unfortunat­ely, I have been linked with some boys others were even gays,” Robredo said.

“But for me, I’ve said this repeatedly, I have been blessed with the best husband and I feel that I would never have the same luck again,” she added.

In her years of marriage, Rob re do was blessed with three daughters - Aika, Tricia and Jillian. “I feel like all the blessings were already given tome-especially for having a wonderful and kind husband,” she said.

“I’ve had enough love to last me a lifetime,” she added. Her husband died in a plane crash in 2012. Aside from this, Robredo said that dating someone new is completely out of the equation in her life right now. “Sa dami ng trabaho ko, may panahon pa ba ako mag-date?,” she asked. Since she became VP in 2016, Robredo has been romantical­ly linked with various personalit­ies.

All these, she said, were just mere speculatio­ns and do not have basis at all. “It’s unimaginab­le for me - even if I’m not the VP—[it's] unimaginab­le to still be with another person ,” she said .“I couldn’ t imagine myself to be with somebody else,” she added.
