The senator assured that Santos has no plans to run for higher posts in the 2016 elections. 

On actor-stepson Luis Manzano possibly running for a post in Batangas, Recto advised Manzano to get married and start a family.

Upon expressing his intent for the presidency, Binay confirmed that he is considering Santos-Recto as his running mate. Speculations on the Binay and Santos-Recto tandem grew louder when the two were seen together during the birthday of Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati's son, Zion.
