MANILA \u2013 Interior Secretary and Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer Manuel \u201cMar\u201d Roxas II has been \u2018courting\u2019 the Nationalist People\u2019s Coalition (NPC) to get the political party\u2019s support in next year\u2019s presidential elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the season of courting,\u201d Budget Secretary and LP member Florencio \u2018Butch\u201d Abad said, mentioning the reason behind Roxas\u2019 meeting with the NPC last Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t talk to them, how can they determine that you want their support? I think Roxas is just being proactive about it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Abad also hoped that Roxas would indeed get the party\u2019s support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will go all the way to October, to December and May. In Philippine politics, as in politics in general, many things still can happen\u2026 I\u2019m sure as in any political party, there are those who advocate for one candidate or another but at end of the day they will have to decide as one party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the NPC joined the administration coalition backing President Benigno \u201cNoynoy\u201d Aquino III\u2019s candidacy at that time. The political party, however, pulled out of the coalition after having its own senatorial candidates in 2013.<\/p>\n

Abad, however, believed that the LP-NPC coalition was \u2018still subsisting\u2019 and they would only know if they can still keep the coalition intact when politicians file their candidacies by October.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, several sources claimed that some NPC members were \u2018ready to support\u2019 Senator Grace Poe instead, should she finally decide to join the presidential race.<\/p>\n

\u2018Encouraged\u2019 by NPC members, Poe clarified that she was still undecided if she would seek higher office in the coming national elections. She also referred to her meeting with the party as a \u2018social gathering\u2019 with no formal talks or offers regarding the elections.<\/p>\n

Roxas, on the other hand, has been openly asking Poe to be his running mate in next year\u2019s general elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I think she is the best option for vice president. There has to be an invitation to formally settle these things once and for all,\u201d Abad said.<\/p>\n

However, Poe admitted preferring to run alongside Senator Francis \u201cChiz\u201d Escudero who has been her friend and political ally for a long time. Escudero had already expressed his interest to run for vice president in 2016 and the neophyte senator would not want to run against him.<\/p>\n

With uncertainty still within the political party, Senator and NPC member Tito Sotto asserted that party members may have different choices on whom to support now but the end of the day, they would all abide by Eduardo \u201cDanding\u201d Cojuangco\u2019s decision on whom to support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
