Even when Kris Aquino lives miles away, her presence in social media is strongly felt.
More so now that her perceived boyfriend, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste, is said to be eyeing the governor post in the 2025 midterm elections.
This early, Leviste is said to be making his political presence felt as he signified his intention to run for governor in Batangas now that the incumbent governor Dodo Mandanas is on his last term.
Leviste’s gubernatorial aspiration seems to have a go signal from Mandanas when the former posted a photo captioned, “sealed with a handshake.”
Mandanas, on his last term as governor, caused a stir on social media when he married 32-year-old lawyer Angelica Chua recently.
Leviste clammed up when asked in a recent interview if rumored girlfriend Kris Aquino will support his gubernatorial bid. All he did say was the Queen of Talk continues to inspire him.
“Kris inspires me. She continues to motivate me in my work as a public servant. Politics is not new to her,” he said.
For a good three years now, Leviste was going back and forth to the US to check on his inamorata’s health. As we all know now, Aquino is suffering from multiple autoimmune diseases which was why she chose to live in the land of Uncle Sam where experts about her medical condition exist.
At one point, Leviste expressed his desire to marry Aquino as “I see myself spending the rest of my life with her and taking care of her. I am very sure the people of Batangas are excited to have Kris as a future first lady if given the chance.”
So, will Aquino acquiesce to be Leviste’s First Lady once he run as governor of Batangas?
Well, that remains to be seen as Aquino is still ongoing with her treatment for multiple autoimmune diseases. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
