Barely a month before the filing of certificates of candidacy, former Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno remained undecided whether or not she would run for senator in 2019.

“Wala pa, wala pa,” Sereno told reporters at the Senate on Wednesday after paying a visit to opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.

After visiting Trillanes, she met with Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, president of the Liberal Party.

Pangilinan said they talked about the upcoming elections but nothing was finalized yet.
