MANILA, Philippines - Interior Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas II has officially invited Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo to run as his vice president in the 2016 national elections.
According to a report from ABS-CBN News Channel, Robredo confirmed that Roxas asked her to consider being his running mate.
However, the Camarines Sur lawmaker is yet to decide if she will accept the offer of the Liberal Party's standard bearer.
Robredo said that she will consider the opinion of her children in deciding her plans for the 2016 polls.
Roxas is set to personally talk with Robredo's children regarding the upcoming elections.
Robredo earlier said that she will only seek the vice presidency in 2016 if nobody else is up for the post.
The Interior secretary had asked Sen. Grace Poe to be his running mate but the senator recently announced that she will also seek the presidency in 2016.
