WATCH: Leni Robredo tells Sharon Cuneta why she chose Kiko Pangilinan to be her running mate

Singer actress Sharon Cuneta had the chance of talking to Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robreo in a one-on-one interview she calls “An Extraordinary Conversation.”

VP Leni and Sharon talked about a lot of things – about being mothers, about how they care for their children and politics as well.

One of the questions asked by Sharon is why did Leni chose Senator Kiko Pangilinan to be her running mate in the coming 2022 election.

“Noong una hindi ko pa tinitignan si Senator Kiko kasi I knew that personal circumstances para sa akin sobrang unfair for him pero noong may nakausap ako na suggesting him parang feeling mo na he makes the most sense,” VP Leni said.

“Naalala ko nasa car ako noon tinext ko siya sinabi ko Senator Kiko, I talked to some people and they were suggesting na ikaw and ramdam ko na dapat ikaw. Tapos nabigla siya because he was going to file the following day for the Senate and ready na rin yung campaign team niya for the Senate,” added VP Leni.

“Pero noong sinabihan ko siya, syempre pinagdadasal ko siya pero I would have perfectly understood na ikaw yung aayaw. So sinabi niya na wala si Sharon pwede niya pagisipan seriously pagnagkausap na kayo,” said VP Leni

Sharon admitted that it was not an easy decision but she can’t say no to VP Leni:

“Hindi po naging madali sa akin pero iniisip ko po yung situation ninyong dalawa na sense of duty po talaga and sa akin I can’t dictate to my husband who has been wanting to serve since seven-years-old and I can’t say no, do not support Ma’am Leni,” Sharon said.
