Remulla 2028 presidential run is being considered, with Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla saying his experience in government has prepared him for national leadership.

Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla has acknowledged that a possible run for the presidency in 2028 remains under consideration, saying his experience in government has prepared him for higher office, even as questions continue to surround allegations involving his family.

Speaking in a recent interview, Remulla said he has not ruled out the idea of seeking the country’s highest post, stressing that his years in public service have given him a clearer understanding of governance and national leadership. “I’ve been debating it. It’s possible. I know what to do for the country,” Remulla said, citing his experience at the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) as instrumental in honing his leadership skills.

Remulla currently heads the DILG, an agency tasked with overseeing local government units and coordinating peace and order initiatives nationwide. Since assuming the post, he has been involved in efforts to strengthen local governance, improve coordination with law enforcement agencies, and support disaster preparedness and response at the community level.

The interior secretary’s remarks, however, come amid renewed public discussion of allegations linked to his family. Reports have previously surfaced alleging that a relative received a significant sum of money connected to a flood control project that later came under scrutiny. The allegations have drawn attention due to the involvement of Remulla’s brother, Ombudsman Boying Remulla, whose office plays a key role in investigating complaints against public officials.

While the accusations have circulated online and in political discussions, Remulla has maintained that he has not been formally charged and has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He also emphasized that no individuals have come forward publicly to claim they would support or finance a future presidential campaign, saying any talk of 2028 remains speculative at this point.

Political analysts note that early discussions about the 2028 elections are not uncommon, particularly among high-ranking officials whose names are often floated as potential contenders. They add that expressions of openness to a future run do not necessarily translate into an active campaign, especially with more than two years remaining before the filing of candidacies.

Observers also point out that Remulla’s leadership at the DILG places him in a visible position, often linking his name to national security, local governance reforms, and public safety initiatives—areas that could shape public perception should he decide to pursue higher office.

For now, Remulla said his focus remains on fulfilling his duties as interior secretary, adding that any decision about 2028 would be made at the proper time. “What’s important is doing the work now,” he said, reiterating that his priority is serving the public through his current role.

As political discourse gradually turns toward the next national elections, Remulla joins a growing list of officials whose statements are being closely watched, reflecting both public interest and heightened scrutiny over leadership, accountability, and experience in government.
