After Vice President Jejomar Binay expressed his dismay when Senator Grace Poe turned down the offer to run with him, the VP’s camp continued hitting Thursday saying the senator should finish her six-year term first before running for higher office.
Laywer JV Bautista, Binay’s spokesperson said Poe should respect the mandate given to her after she won as the senator.
Bautista, who is also the interim secretary-general of the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), said the senator has not even fully served her term.
“Perhaps she owes it to the people, or at the very least those who voted for her, to serve out her term,” he said on a briefing.
Bautista also recalled that the people who helped in late Fernando Poe Jr., ran are now with the Vice President.
“Perhaps that’s one of the reasons the Vice President felt that if Senator Grace Poe would run, the most natural people for her to go with would be those people who helped her father,” he said.
