COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Senator Loren Legarda on Tuesday said she would announce within this week whether to run for vice president with presidential aspirant Gilbert Teodoro Jr. under the Lakas-Kampi coalition or with Senator Manuel Villar of the Nacionalista Party.

"Whether orange (campaign color of Villar) or green (color of Teodoro), I will have to formally announce it within this week," she said during a brief talk before officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao here.

Legarda was guest during the State of the Region Address (Sora) of ARMM Governor Zaldy Ampatuan.

Pressed to divulge the political bandwagon that she would join in an interview with reporters, Legarda declined to give an answer.

"Let's talk about what we can do to resolve the problem of climate change and other issues concerning social problems and the economy," she said.

"One thing sure, I am running for the vice presidency and I am pro-people and good governance but whether it’s orange or green will be known in a few days from now," she maintained.

"I don't want to break the news here," she said, adding that it might obscure Governor Ampatuan's Sora.
