LEGAZPI CITY—Albay Gov. Joey Salceda has raised concern over the possibility of Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo running for vice president with Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero having announced his vice presidential bid in tandem with presidential aspirant Sen. Grace Poe.

Salceda, on a Facebook post Thursday, said it would not be good for Escudero and Robredo to fight against each other for the same national post since they are both Bicolanos.

Escudero, who is from Sorsogon, will run alongside Poe as independent candidates.

“Chiz runs for VP of Grace. That trumps Leni since it is not good for a Bicolano to fight another Bicolano unless there it involves game-changing reasons.
