President Benigno Aquino 3rd on Tuesday said he is still hoping that Sen. Grace Poe will join the administration party as the running mate of Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd.

“Until the end of the filing of candidacy period, I don’t think we’re giving up. Iba pa rin iyong [It’s still different when] we get united,” Aquino said during a media forum aired on state-run PTV-4.
