How does Santiago-Duterte for 2016 sound?
Is this the real life?
After throwing out a cameraman and then personally walking out of the Commission on Appointment (CA) hearing, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago cheerfully held a press conference and affirmed her decision to throw her hat into the circus ring of pre-2016 posturing.
Â
In a report published by GMA News on Wednesday (September 10), the senator revealed her top choices for a running mate. Topping the list is Mayor Rodrigo "Rody" Duterte, followed by Gilbert Teodoro and Senator Grace Poe.
Â
Santiago said that she would love to run with Duterte, whom she thought would make an excellent "VP for enforcement." On the other hand, she quipped that the Miriam-Grace pairing seems "charming" and sounds like a restaurant.
Â
Here are a few more quotes from the press conference, care of her Twitter account:

Every time I hear news on corruption, I want to become president of this feckless country.
