PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III said he will announce the administration’s bet for the 2016 election at the right time but in the meantime he will focus on governance to improve the condition of the people.
Politicians have started their posturing for the national poll two years from now.
“I will announce at the appropriate time. Pero sa ngayon, syempre naka-focus tayo sa problema ngayon imbes na ‘yung 2016 elections,” the President said in an interview during the Pinoy Music Summit in Malate, Manila on Wednesday.
The year has just started and the President said he hopes his allies would understand his priorities at this time.
With the onset of the rainy season a few months from now, the President said he expects typhoons to come and he wants to make sure that communities are prepared against calamities. He added that he has a few months to establish those priorities.
Asked whether he thinks jockeying for positions by politicians was helpful to the country, he said it gives the people more time to scrutinize political personalities who show interest in running in 2016. (PND)
