Rosmar shared with the press her reason for running for councilor in Manila.
"Pero kasi may nag-push sa akin na tumakbo ka kasi kailangan ka ng tao kasi kailangan nila ng tunay na pagbabago. Ako, bilang dati nang tumutulong sabi ko nga 10 years old pa lang ako tumutulong na ako sa tao," she said.
"Siguro nga mas marami akong matutulungan kapag naka-posisyon na ako," she added.
Rosmar also revealed that a friend of hers pushed her to enter politics. She also said that she will not join any party and will run as an independent.
"Maraming kumukuha sa akin na iba't ibang partido pero mas nananatili na gusto ko maging independent para iwas pamumulitika."
Rosmar said this is her second time running for politics.
"Nung unang beses 'di ako nakaikot or nangampanya kahit isang beses dahil nanganak ako. Panahon ng eleksyon, so mas pinariority ko yung pagbubuntis ko mas pinariority ko yung pamilya at anak ko."
Rosmar promised, real life version of her and her social media version are very different.
"Yung Rosmar sa social media at Rosmar sa totoong buhay ay magkaiba... masasabi ko na matalino akong tao."
