The Senator will file his certificate of candidacy on Oct 2 "without fanfare".
It can be recalled that he was mentioned in the potential senatorial slate of both the Aquino-led Liberal Party and the Binay-Erap coalition UNA Party, an entity merged from Vice President Binay's PDP-Laban party and former President Estrada's Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP).
When asked which group he would likely join, he refused to answer it and left it up to both parties for the final decision.
