Nograles noted that some people might be overly concerned, but she hopes for unity for the betterment of Davao City.
Alongside other public officials, Nograles attended the distribution of presidential assistance to farmers, fisherfolk, and families, led by President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, at the Davao del Norte Sports and Tourism Complex in Tagum City, Davao del Norte, on Thursday, June 6, 2024.

Speculations have arisen regarding her potential candidacy for mayor in Davao City. However, she clarified that she has no intentions of running for mayor.
“I’ve always said no po, hindi po ako mag mamayor, PBA po tayo. Mga marites lang kayong lahat (I’ve always said no, I will not run for Mayor. I am committed to PBA. This is just gossip),” Nograles said during a media interview in Tagum City.
She highlighted the attention the Davao Region has received, particularly from the previous administration, which was one of the first to focus on the south, especially Mindanao and Davao. She expressed happiness about the continued support and attention President Marcos is giving to the people of Davao.
She also mentioned plans for Davao City to host the Bagong Pilipinas Serbisiyo Fair.
“The timing remains uncertain, but it's assured that Davao City will not be neglected,” she added. AJA
