In a shocking twist of political ambition, Leni Robredo has made it clear that she’s not interested in Senator Risa Hontiveros’ generous offer to the former vice president to run for senator in 2025. 

Robredo, who seems to be playing a real-life game of Snakes and Ladders, declared, “I climb the ladder upwards, not downwards.” 

Evidently, Robredo believes she’s on a stairway to heaven, with only the presidency as her final destination. 

She graciously offered Hontiveros the consolation prize of being her vice-presidential running mate, which can only be described as the political equivalent of being second fiddle in a one-man band.

One can’t help but admire Robredo’s unwavering commitment to upward mobility, leaving no room for the tedious monotony of Senate life. After all, who needs legislative experience when you’re already on the fast track to the top?

One, however, can only wonder whatever happened to Robredo’s fancy for “bumababa sa baba.”
