MANILA, Philippines -- Sen. Nancy Binay on Thursday said she was "seriously considering" running for mayor in Makati City in the 2025 local elections.

Binay will end her last term as senator next year. Under the law, senators are allowed two consecutive six-year terms.

Asked what her political plans would be after her "graduation" next year, Binay said, "We are seriously considering running in Makati [City] as mayor."

Pressed whether one of her siblings will compete against her, Binay said, it was reported that Luis Campos, husband of her sister and incumbent Makati Mayor Abigail Binay-Campos, also wants to run for mayor in Makati.

"At the end of the day they will not see two Binays in the ballot in 2025 [local polls]," the senator said.

Binay also said her brother, former Makati mayor Jejomar Binay Jr., is helping her decide what to do.

"Of course, even if I'm not 100 percent decided in running [for mayor] we still need to prepare," she added.
