Miriam will run for president if…

“In her keynote speech during the commencement exercises of the University of the Philippines-Cebu on Wednesday, April 30, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said she might considering running for president again under one condition,” reports ANC.

So, what’s the feisty lady senator’s requirement?

“If all the crooks who are substantially involved in the pork barrel scam are brought to trial before the court, then I will consider running for president,” she said.

She was also quoted as saying, “We need to start and commit with the chance of cleaning up government. And I’m not going to run for president and run the entire country while these crooks are in the environment.”

All we can say is that it’s a pretty tough requirement.
