"Certainly I would be lying if I don't consider it," Gordon told a virtual forum of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry when asked if he is planning to run for president in 2022.

The Philippines needs a "capable leader that will provide sustainability, that will provide sincerity and the inspiration to make the people believe in themselves and work together as a people. Yan ang kailangan natin," he said.
