MANILA — President Aquino is still undecided on whom to support in the 2016 presidential elections, according to Senator Francis Escudero on Friday.<\/p>\n

In an interview over Radyo Inquirer, Escudero said that Aquino’s final choice of candidate to endorse in next year’s polls is still unclear.<\/p>\n

\u201cWala namang ganung kalinaw dahil the mere fact na kinakusap kami at wala pa s\u2019yang iniindorso, siguro patunay na \u2018yun na wala pa talaga s\u2019yang pasya sa kanyang kaisipan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

(There’s no clear decision yet because the mere fact that he still talked to us and he is still not making any endorsement, is a proof that he has not made any decision yet.)<\/p>\n

Escudero added that if the president has already made up his mind, he would no longer meet with other potential candidates outside of his party.<\/p>\n

\u201cDahil kung buo na ang kanyang kasipan bakit pa po nya kailangang makipagpulong sa ibang tao at bakit kailangan pa po n\u2019yang lumabas sa kanyang partido?\u201d<\/p>\n

(If he is already decided, why would he meet with other people even the ones who do not belong to his party?)<\/p>\n

The senator added that if Aquino has already decided, he would have already made the endorsement.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaliwanag naman siguro \u2018yun dahil kung talagang buo na ang kanyang kaisipan matagal na sana s\u2019yang nag-endorso pero s\u2019ya mismo pinagpaliban ang kanyang pagpili at pag endorso ng kanyang kandidato,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n

(It might be clear that if he has made a decision,\u00a0he should have announced his endorsement long ago, but he has delayed choosing and endorsing his bet.)<\/p>\n
