Politicians who are running for national positions are now preparing for the upcoming 2016 National Elections this May. Some partylists and groups are now gathering and boosting the people's awareness about their desire to be in the position. Some are now even starting to expose themselves through TV ads.

It has been 3 years now since the Philippines lost a very valuable and humble public servant, DILG Sec. Jesse Robredo. In his loss, he left an empowered, developed and better Naga City. He did not just left a legacy in the city as a mayor but marked a great legacy of good governance in the Philippine public service. Because of the wonderful things he has contributed for the city and the DILG, people has recognized his passion and hard work in doing his duty as an official. 

His unfortunate death did not hinder the cry for honest leadership and good governance. This situation paved way for his wife, the incumbent 3rd District Congresswoman of Camarines Sur to continue what her husband has established. Cong. Leni has been serving her constituents for 2 years now. Even before, when Sec. Robredo was still in service, Cong. Leni has been in public service extending help to those in need. Although she has chosen to be in the shadows than being in the limelight, her humbleness in service brought her to where she is now.

Being a mother and a father of her 3 beautiful girls is a challenge. Add up the spice of being a mother and a leader of the whole 3rd Congressional District of Camarines Sur will really make you awe this strong woman.

In the upcoming 2016 elections, people are anticipating if she will bring the challenge of public service into the next level. In her short drop by in Davao City before heading to Kidapawan last August 31, 2015, Cong. Leni was asked by the Davao City media if she is considering a national post. She directly answered it with a yes. Senate would be a great option according to her. Asked if she will go for the post of a Vice President, she thinks she is still not qualified for such a huge position.When asked about what party will she be under, she candidly answered the Liberal Party due to the fact that Sec. Jesse is from there.

With her passion and humbleness in service, the country definitely needs a public servant like her. An example of a genuine public servant and a leader that has a heart for the people. This is the kind of servant leader the Philippines need.
