Does she mean it?
“In a statement released to the media, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said her cancer has regressed and she is now on the road to recovery—and even the presidency,” reports Ira Pedrasa on ABS-CBNnews.com.
Santiago was quoted as saying: “I have licked cancer, and I’m actually thinking of several career options. By 2016, I will be disqualified by law to seek another term as senator.”
She also added, “I’m not going to be coy. Society leaders have urged me to seek the presidency. I can rise to the occasion, although I was following the other sign posts on the road to recovery.”
On July 2 Santiago announced, “I have cancer of the lungs, which makes it hard for me to breathe.”
