De Lima on possibility of being Roxas’ VP: It’s out of my psyche
“It is out of my psyche,” Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said when asked to comment on reports that she was being considered a running mate for Interior Secretary Mar Roxas.
“Ang ano ko lang ngayon ay senatorial. Anything beyond that, I am not ready,” De Lima told reporters on Friday.
De Lima, according to Liberal Party sources, is being eyed as potential vice presidential candidate after her survey ratings rose following her spat with Iglesia ni Cristo.
The INC staged a protest accusing De Lima of giving excessive attention to cases filed by their expelled members against their leaders.
De Lima said no one had talked to her about the possibility of being Roxas’ running mate.
“I do not think that is possible,” she said. Tetch Torres-Tupas/RC
