President Benigno Aquino III earlier said he will announce his presidential bet come his last State of the Nation Address on July 27.
With few weeks left, Aquino is having a hard time deciding who to endorse as his presidential bet in 2016.
This is according to Sen. Francis Escudero who met with the President and Sen. Grace Poe on Thursday.
Escudero said Aquino’s decision to meet with nonparty mates showed tha fact that he has not made his decision yet and still considering other options including Poe and himself on who to endorse.
The senator also said that Aquino had proposed a meeting among Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, Poe, Escudero and himself most likely before July 27.
“The mere fact that he’s talking to Senator Poe, and he has no decision yet up to now even if only one member of the (ruling Liberal Party) indicated an intention to run, is proof that he has not made up his mind and he’s widening his perspective when it comes to his options,” Escudero said.
Poe earlier topped the recent presidential and vice-presidential candidate preference surveys which gave her better chance to whatever position she choose to run for.

He’d better go for Poe! People will choose Binay over Roxas.
