MANILA \u2013 Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago believes President Benigno S. Aquino III will not seek another term, saying the Chief Executive, like his mother — the late former President Corazon C. Aquino — is not a power-hungry person.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe Aquino mother and son are not power-hungry people. That\u2019s my personal observation,\u201d Santiago said in a press briefing at the Senate after walking out of a Commission on Appointments (CA) hearing Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Santiago said President Aquino was just adopting hints about a second term \u201cbecause he does not want the politicians to treat him as lame duck President and completely ignore him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dI think President Aquino is literally counting that days, weeks, months and years. He is just like his mother. I was closed to his mother,\u201d Santiago said.<\/p>\n

President Aquino was elected in May 2010, less than a year after his mother died of cardiorespiratory arrest.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s mother was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in March 2008.<\/p>\n

Santiago was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer last June and is now on the road to full recovery, thanks to a wonder pill that led 80 percent of her cancer tumor to disappear only six months after she started the medication.<\/p>\n

If she will make a full recovery by December this year, Santiago said she will consider running again for president in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

Santiago, who ran but lost in the 1991 presidential race, said she will also consider joining an international non-government organization or write a book in Washington, D.C. after her term as senator expires in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201dIf I don\u2019t make a full recovery and go on to a dark place, I will come back anyway and sabotage the plans of corrupt politicians,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Santiago returned to the Senate Wednesday, two months after she announced she was diagnosed with cancer, but walked out of a hearing after arguing with Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Farinas on the committee proceedings.<\/p>\n
