“I’m considering just either running for president or for reelection sa position ko ngayon,” Cayetano said.

“I’m not really considering for vice president. May mga nagsasabi na puwedeng mag-senador, but I’m really contemplating muna ano ang magiging future natin in the first year after Duterte,” he added.

Cayetano said that he will decide not later than September. The filing of candidacy is set in October.

“Let’s see, magbi-bear din sa akin ‘yung 2022 budget, meaning kung napakaganda ng 2022 budget and tingin ko naman kahit sino maging presidente, magiging maganda implementation, but definitely titingnan ko rin ‘yung moral compass ng lahat ng tatakbo,” Cayetano said. (TDT)
