Senator Richard Gordon revealed that he is set to take another shot at presidency in 2022 national elections.
In an interview with ABS-CBN, Gordon said: “I’m a Michael Jordan on the bench. I’m going to do the job,” Gordon said.
The senator said he was grateful to his supporters and friends who said he has the track record to run for president.
Gordon ran for president in 2010 and again for senator in 2013 but lost. He was re-elected as a senator in 2016.
The veteran senator who is also the chairman of the Philippine Red Cross, cited the humanitarian organization’s contribution to the country’s fight against the pandemic.
“The field is quite weak, kulang ang kanilang track record and I agree. Hindi sa mayabang ako pero may ipagmamayabang naman tayo,” he said.
“Give me time because again there are a lot of things, I wanna concentrate doing the work I’m doing right now,” Gordon added.
Gordon also hit the pre-presidential surveys which he is currently lagging behind.
“I condemn these surveys, they have no business, that’s very irresponsible na sinasabi nila ito ang mananalo. Ano ‘yan, pupusta ba ang mga tao?” Gordon said.
The Commission on Elections has set for October 1 to 8 the filing of certificates of candidacy from the president down to municipal councilor.
