Francis Escudero as her Vice President.<\/p>\n<p>Both of them will be running as independent, according to Trillanes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the information we have, she (Poe) has made her decision to run for president with Sen. Chiz as her vice president and they\u2019re going at it as independents so that\u2019s their plan and we\u2019ll just wait for a formal announcement which they will make probably in September,\u201d Trillanes said.<\/p>\n<p>Poe and Escudero have yet to formally announce if they will, indeed, run for the said posts in next year&#8217;s polls.<\/p>\n<p>Escudero, earlier expressed interest in running for the Vice President post should he decide to run for a higher position in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n<p>Trillanes also added that he will pursue the Vice Presidential post even without the support of his group, the Nacionalista Party (NP).<\/p>\n<p>He earlier said that he is 100 percent ready to run for Vice President, even if it would mean running against\u00a0his co-senators who are rumored to run for the same post next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am 100 percent sure that I will run as vice president this 2016,\u201d Trillanes said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since I entered politics in 2007, I was never afraid of losing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe I can accomplish many things. I don\u2019t have a plan to grow old in politics. If we want change, we should aspire for change now. We have seen the problems of our country and we have seen that these are not being addressed,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA &#8212; Citing his own sources, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV revealed that Senator Grace Poe has finally decided to run &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":22504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[95,483],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53969","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news-ph","category-politics","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53969"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53969\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
