Many people are supporting Sen.Grace Poe, they are pushing her to run in Presidential election in 2015. That's why the senator is considering to run in a higher position. And if will do that,we knew that Vice President Jejomar Binay is one of her tough contender. Binay is still the number one in presidential surveys despite the fact that his opponent throwing him negative issues. Sen. Poe bashed also Binay, she believed that the vice president is involved in corruption that's why she don't want to become his vice president. The Binay camp has a counter attack with the statement of th senator. UNA said that she is not applicable to run for President for she is an American citizen.

Here is the letter:
By Atty. RAYMOND FORTUN
AN OPEN LETTER
I like you, Sen. Grace Poe. I really do. And the more that you are being hit by your detractor and his ill-tempered cohorts, the more that i hate THEM. But...
You DID state UNDER OATH that your residency in the Philippines as of May 13,2013 was 6 years, 6 months. I as a lawyer will hold you to that oath. You KNEW or OUGHT TO HAVE KNOWN the implications of that declaration. That you are now trying to wiggle your way out of that declaration under oath somehow tarnishes you in my eyes because THE LEAST that I expect from you is HONESTY. Are you singing a different tune now because you are becoming a traditional politician who we should detest? Please dont get drunk with a lust for power. Please do not listen to those who say that you are popular because they have their own agendas.
There is a reason why the Constitution requires a 10-year residency for a presidential candidate --- at the least, it is to guarantee that a candidate knows what ills this country, and has a love for it enough to desire to be a catalyst for change. If you really placed "6 years, 6 months" as of May 13,2013, please show a love for your chosen (?) country by conceding that point and FOLLOW and OBEY this country's laws. Otherwise, we cannot expect that you would follow those same laws IF you become president.
Wishing that our Lord will grant you the wisdom to do what is good for our country.
