MANILA \u2013 Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto stayed firm on her earlier claim that she will not run for vice president in next year\u2019s national elections.<\/p>\n

Several members of the ruling Liberal Party (LP) tagged Santos if she wanted to be Interior Secretary Manuel \u201cMar\u201d Roxas II\u2019s running mate in the coming elections but the governor only politely thanked their offers.<\/p>\n

Santos maintained that should she seek higher office in 2016, she preferred running as Batangas congresswoman instead. But then again, she had no official political plans yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are asking me for any political plans, talagang wala po. I may run, or may not run anymore.<\/p>\n

Pero ang focus ko po ngayon, sa totoo lang, ay Batangas. Last term ko na po so gusto ko pong grumadweyt with honors,\u201d she said in an interview with DZMM.<\/p>\n

(If you are asking me for any political plans, there is really none. I may run, or may not run anymore. But my focus right now, with all honesty, is Batangas. It\u2019s my last term so I want to graduate with honors.)<\/p>\n

\u201cBut again, I thank them for considering me\u2026 Kapag alam ko po na hindi ko kakayanin, and as of now if you will ask me, I am not mentally, physically and emotionally prepared for that. So, \u2018yun po ang sitwasyon ko ngayon,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

(But again, I thank them for considering me\u2026 When I know that I won\u2019t endure it, and as of now if you will ask me, I am not mentally, physically and emotionally prepared for that. So, that\u2019s my situation right now.)<\/p>\n

When asked if she would consider running for senator instead, Santos said that even that post required thorough preparation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng problema ko po diyan, nasanay po ako ng executive. Mula nang nagsimula ako, nasanay po ako ng administratibo. \u2018Pag pinag-usapan na po natin \u2018yan, mag-aaral po ulit \u2018yan. Legislative na po \u2018yan. Paggawa na po \u2018yan ng batas. Unlike \u2018yung local, administratibo po ito,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

(My problem with that is I\u2019ve been honed in the executive [department]. Since I started, I\u2019ve practiced in the administration. When we talk about that, there is a need to study. That\u2019s legislative. That\u2019s making laws. Unlike the local, this is administrative.)<\/p>\n

As the wife of Senator Ralph Recto, Santos shared how blessed she was to have him as her guide as he also respected her decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuided niya ako pero ang last say niya ay nasa akin at \u2018yun naman ay nirerespeto niya. I respect him too kasi hindi ho niya inooverboard ang decisions ko lalo na personally,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

(He guides me but I have the last say and that\u2019s what he respects.<\/p>\n
