Manila, Philippines – Senator Grace Poe who stars on surveys
for senatorial race showed support for other senatorial bets who she also wants
to win in the May midterm polls.
Politiko reported that on Tuesday, Poe mentioned former
senator Serge Osmeña and former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay as two of the
senatorial candidates she is endorsing.
Saying that she would be campaigning together with Osmeña in
some areas, she described him as his “mentor”.
When asked for senatorial candidates she is supporting, Poe
said she does not want to hurt the feelings of other bets.
“I don’t wanna hurt
the feelings of others if I don’t mention their names but I hope I will be
forgiven if I base it on certain things they have done. For example, Florin
Hilbay. I think he was the OSG (Office of Solicitor General) at the time.”
Meanwhile, despite the huge possibility of winning the race
as she consistently topped the pre-election voter preference surveys, Poe said
she’s still “running scared.”
“[While] it’s good to be number one, the challenge is also
there to be able to maintain that and there are a lot of viable and very
popular candidates in this race,” she said.
