Kris Aquino says she’s not running for VP in 2016

But, mind you, it doesn’t mean that she won’t ever run for office.

“During the live telecast of her primetime talk show Aquino & Abunda Tonight on Tuesday, Mar 4, President Benigno Aquino III’s youngest sister, TV host-actress Kris Aquino, said that she will not be running for vice president in the 2016 elections,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.

Kris’ denial comes in the wake of rumors that she’s being eyed as the possible running mate of Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas, who is expected to be the administration’s standard bearer in the 2016 polls.

“It has never been discussed, no truth. Huwag silang gumawa ng intriga, kasi hindi talaga totoo (They shouldn’t sow intrigue, because it really isn’t true). At this point in my life…it’s not yet my time,” Kris said.

However, she said she was keen on running for office in the future, even mentioning the year 2019.
