Frankie, who has always been vocal about social issues, said in a previous interview that entering politics was never in her plans.
“I understood that’s how people actually are. Every time you get politically involved, it means you have ambition… you have an interest at least, and I never was that kind of person,” she said at the time.
“As a Filipino, you want to change the problems in the Philippines, and I think that’s just really it, as a Filipino and not as anyone’s child,” she added.
