Months before the official start of the campaign period, Naga City is starting to become an important stop for candidates in the 2025 elections.

Two more Senate hopefuls visited former vice president Leni Robredo on Friday at the local office of Angat Buhay, the non-government organization she co-founded in 2022.

Robredo shared photos of her with SAGIP party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta, whom she described as a "former colleague" at the House of Representatives, and retired colonel Ariel Querubin, whom she said is a "co-parent at the Ateneo de Manila University."

Before becoming vice president, Robredo served as Camarines Sur representative from 2013 to 2016. Her daughters Aika and Tricia studied at the Ateneo.

Both candidates did not support Robredo in her presidential bid in 2022.

Marcoleta is a known ally of former president Rodrigo Duterte and his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte.
