Transcript of Ambush Interview with Senate President Franklin M. Drilon

Q: Sabi ni President Aquino he is consulting his partymates, para magkaroon ng consensus-building for 2016. Kayo po ba, nagkausap na po ba kayo sir?

SPFMD: Hindi marami pa kaming ginagawa eh. Hindi pa kami nagkakaconsultahan. The President I'm sure is very busy and I can't speak for the others, but I haven't had the chance to have consultations with the President on the specific issues.

Q: Kayo po ba sir are you open to the possibility that as a standard bearer, ay yung hindi niyo kapartido?

SPFMD: I am a partyman, and I would prefer a party-member. We do not lack talents in our party.

Q: Si Sec. Mar Roxas po ba ang ipupush ninyo?

SPFMD: If he expresses his interest, I will support him.

Q: But for now? May ineexpress na ba si Sec. Mar sa inyo?

SPFMD: We haven't discussed it yet, precisely because we are so busy.
