ALTHOUGH he considers himself of presidential timber, Sen. Richard Gordon said he is not sure whether he will seek re-election for the Senate or will run for president in 2010.
Gordon, who was ranked fifth in the 2004 senatorial elections, can seek re-election in 2010. But he has been aspiring to become president since 1992 yet.
“I think among those who have declared (to run for president), I can see that I am the most ready (to manage the country) but I am not a candidate yet,” Gordon said in a press conference.
