Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) General Manager Nicolas Torre III denies reports that he is planning to run for mayor of Davao City in the upcoming 2028 elections. Torre says there was no announcement indicating he intends to seek the mayoral post or any other position. The clarification follows media reporting that linked Torre to a possible candidacy and suggested support from Vice President Sara Duterte regarding his willingness to run for mayor. Torre’s response emphasizes that he is not seeking the Davao City mayoral position. The denials come after circulation of claims that he may be entering local politics. No new evidence or official campaign filing is described in the reports summarized; both outlets focus on Torre’s statement clarifying that he is not pursuing the Davao City post and that he has not made such an announcement.
