“Well, it’s a good team.”
This was what Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said on Thu, Sep 17, when he was asked for his opinion on the 2016 tandem of Senators Grace Poe and Chiz Escudero.
“While maintaining that Poe seems to be a newbie in the political arena, Duterte, nonetheless, acknowledged that Escudero is a seasoned politician, and this could tip the scales to Poe’s favor,” reports Rodirey Salas on ABS-CBNnews.com.
Duterte remarked, “Of course, Chiz is a seasoned politician. Grace Poe might be really a greenhorn. (But if Chiz is at her side), things might turn out differently.”
The report noted: “Duterte said he remains neutral as he has not yet chosen a candidate he will support. He added that he will take a look first at the candidates’ platforms.”
“I have not made any commitment. I would rather say neutral for this time. I cannot make any assessment right now,” Duterte quipped.
