President Benigno Aquino III has finally made it official that he will be supporting DILG Secretary Mar Roxas in the presidential elections in 2016, but leaving questions if Sen. Grace Poe will continue to run.
Roxas emotionally accepted Aquino’s challenge to continue “daang matuwid” Friday morning.
Poe in Aquino’s endorsement expressed hope that the 2016 presidential campaign will focus on good governance with the Interior Secretary as one of the candidates.
“I recognize Secretary Roxas has decided to offer himself as a possible president and I wish him well,” Poe said in a press statement.

The lady senator meanwhile thanked the president for considering her among those who can continue his vision.
“I see this is an acknowledgment of my efforts in our shared desire to improve the lives of all Filipinos,” she said.
However, the senator hoped that the “2016 election campaign will be one of the open discussion of issues and proposed programs of government that will build on what President Aquino has started.”
Poe has not yet announced whether she will run for higher office come 2016 polls or she will finish her term as a senator.
She and Aquino met four times to discuss the 2016 polls but no decision yet came out to media.
But she assured that she will continue to walk the “Daang Matuwid” believing that it will be made more meaningful if more people continue the journey.
