We can’t deny that there’s a lot of good buzz around her.
“Washington SyCip, founder of accounting firm SGV & Co., on Tuesday, September 2, asked Senator Grace Poe at the Asian Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility in a hotel in Makati City about her running for President in 2016,” reports Leila B. Salaverria in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Poe said she wasn’t planning to run for higher office in 2016. “Right now, I’m barely over a year in (the Senate) and I have yet a lot to prove,” she said.
However, Poe said she was honored by the 93-year-old SyCip considering her as worthy of the highest position in the land. She explained, “Washington SyCip was one of the first supporters of my father, Fernando Poe Jr., when he ran for President (in 2004), so maybe he has a soft spot [for me]. That’s all,” she said.

The senator added that SyCip also had connections to her grandfather, Fernando Poe Sr., who was one of SGV’s first clients.
