Vice presidential bet Senator Manuel Roxas II explained Friday why his wife, broadcaster Korina Sanchez, has not been appearing in his campaign sorties, saying he does not want to drag her in partisan activities.

"Iniingatan ko rin ang katayuan ni Korina dahil broadcast journalist siya, hindi naman siya nanggaling sa entertainment side, sa journalism side siya. So hindi ko gusto masyado na kasama siya sa mga partisan na activities," the senator told Mike Enriquez during dzBB's Ikaw Na Ba? The Vice Presidential Interview Friday morning.

(I want to protect Korina as a broadcast journalist, she does not come from the entertainment side, she's from the journalism side. I don't want her to get too much involved in partisan activities.)

He said Sanchez is helping him in the campaign in her own way.

"Umiikot naman siya sa kanyang advocacies, sa women’s [rights], sa iba pang lugar pero hindi na sa bawat campaign e sasama po siya," Roxas said.

(She mentions me whenever she visits groups for her advocacy, such as the women's issues, and whenever she goes to other places. But she will not join us in our sorties.)

Kris Aquino, Sanchez' friend and sister of presidential candidate Senator Benigno Simeon Aquino III has joined the LP campaign sorties twice – in Zamboanga last week and in Tarlac this week – towing along her husband James Yap.

Asked what would happen to Sanchez' career once he wins in the May polls, the senator said in jest that she would still be his wife.

Kidding aside, Roxas admitted that it would be hard for Sanchez to return to broadcasting, and that she has already accepted that.

"Sa palagay ko hindi na po siya pwede magnews. Tanggap din niya na sakaling palarin po tayo ay mahihirapan na siya mag news pa dahil of course sasabihin na ang mister niya ay nasa mataas na posisyon," he said.

(I think she can't be part of any news team anymore. She has already accepted that. Should I win, she would not be doing news reporting because her husband holds a high position in government.)

Asked if they are expecting a baby, Roxas said not yet but they are "monitoring" it.

It has been five months since Roxas and Sanchez tied the knot, less than a month before he filed his certificate of candidacy last November.
