SINABI kahapon ni Pangulong Aquino na hindi siya nababahala sa ulat na nakatakda nang magdeklara ng kanyang kandidatura si Sen. Grace Poe sa pagkapangulo bukas.
“Worried? Why should we be worried of her announcing her plans. We really would like to hear what she says. Are we worried? No, we are not worried. I think the party stands on a particular platform. We are moving away from personality politics to platform-based politics,” sabi ni Aquino sa isang ambush interview sa Iloilo City.
Idinagdag pa ni Aquino na ang pambato pa rin ng Liberal Party (LP) na si dating Interior secretary Mar Roxas ang magdedesisyon kung sino ang kanyang pipiliing bise presidente.
“Palagay ko I cannot speak at this point in time if we’ve narrowed down but we do have criteria as to whom. And at the end of the day, siyempre, ang aming standard-bearer will have the biggest say as to who he wants as a running mate,” dagdag ni Aquino.
