Call this the period of political courtship.
“In a chance interview after a hearing of his plunder case at the Sandiganbayan on Tuesday, July 21, Senator Jinggoy Estrada said that “the United Nationalist Alliance is continuing to woo Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to be the running mate of Vice President Jejomar Binay in next year’s presidential elections,” reports Jove Francisco on InterAksyon.com.
Estrada stated, “Well I think Vice President Binay has offered the slot of the vice presidency to Mayor Duterte. But I think hindi pa yata sila nagka-ayusan (they have yet to reach an agreement).”
The report noted: “Estrada was among UNA’s vice presidential prospects until he was arrested and detained on charges over his alleged participation in the pork barrel scam.”
