In a tweet, Locsin said he has told President Duterte of his decision to “walk away” from power and position even as some of his “friends” in the Cabinet are poised to join the senatorial race.
“Friends in Cabinet are running for the Senate; those I deeply admire. I already declined; telling the President I deem it infinitely higher honor to walk away from power and position beside him in June 2022. No greater honor than to walk away from it all with such a president,” he said.
It is not known, however, if Locsin’s decision not to seek a Senate seat is already final, or “he is just merely playing hard-to-get,” said a former DFA official who requested anonymity.
