Leni to Poe: Run with Mar

Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo of Camarines Sur on Friday called on Sen. Grace Poe, pre-election presidential preference survey frontrunner, to soften up and agree to become Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas 2nd’s running mate in next year’s elections.

“Gusto ko sana na isa lang ang administration ticket. Bakit pa tayo maghihiwa-hiwalay kung pareho lamang ang ating sinusulong? Patuloy pa rin ang pakikipag-usap kay Senator Grace Poe. Hindi pa rin ako nawawalan ng pag-asa [I hope that we could all be together under one ticket. Why do we have go separate ways when we are pushing for the same goal? The talks with Sen. Grace Poe are still ongoing so I am not giving up on that yet],” Robredo told reporters.
