Senator Grace Poe was in high spirits when she faced the media in a hastily press conference she called at the Senate shortly after the Senate Electoral Tribunal junked with finality on Thursday the disqualification case filed against her.

Poe made small talk with the media, took pictures with them and even approached some of the new faces and shook their hands before the press conference started.

However, when she opened her press conference with her legal counsel, George Garcia, Poe became emotional when she explained why she called the press conference in a short notice.

She said she thought she would be unseated from the Senate without even thanking the media and her colleagues in the Senate.

“Baka bukas makalawa tanggalin na ako dito at hindi ko man lang kayo napasalamatan…” she said.

(I may be disqualified tomorrow or the day after tomorrow without having the opportunity to thank all of you.)

“Ngayong maganda na ang desisyon, ako’y pumunta sa inyo. Unang-una para magpasalamat sa lahat ng tulong nyo para mailabas ang (aking mga storya),” she said.

(Now that the decision is already good, I am approaching you. First of all, I want to thank you for all your help in making my story known to the public.) RAM
