She doesn’t really give a straight answer.
“The options are still open for Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila de Lima regarding an elective position in 2016 after she again made it to the list of possible senatorial winners in the latest Pulse Asia survey,” reports Edu Punay in The Philippine Star.
When asked if she was going to run for a Senate seat, De Lima was quoted as saying, “My attitude really is to leave it up to the future. Whether it’s in another branch of government or out of government, I would not know what will happen to me in 2016.”
She went on to explain. “I have not talked to the President about it yet. I suppose there will come a time that he will ask me about my plans. I don’t think it’s the proper or right time to decide. I am still faced with so many challenges in the department and non-stop work everyday.”
