Senator Grace Poe came at the launching of Bayan Muna Representative Neri Colmenares’ senatorial bid held at San Andres Sports Complex in Malate, Manila on Wednesday.
Poe arrived with her running-mate, Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, and Isabela Representative Giorgidi Aggabao, president of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC).
While the NPC has yet to decide whom to endorse in the 2016 presidential race, Aggabao already introduced Poe as the “next president of the Philippines.”
Aggabao also described Escudero as the next vice president.
In his short speech, the NPC president announced that the party has agreed to back the senatorial bid of Colmenares. Maila Ager/IDL
