MANILA, Philippines - Following Sen. Grace Poe's declaration of her 2016 candidacy, Malacañang claimed Wednesday that the Aquino administration has already been delivering on the promises of the presidential aspirant.

"All the aspirations that have been enunciated have been implemented or in the process of being implemented," Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement.

In her speech, Poe listed down the 20 goals she would attain if elected president.

Lacierda did not express ill will toward Poe, who declined to be the running mate of Manuel Roxas II, the administration's presidential bet.

"We wish Sen. Grace Poe all the best," he said.

On Poe's statement that there is no single group that can continue "Daang Matuwid," Lacierda pointed out that the senator is running on a different campaign.

"What is clear is we're running on the platform of Daang Matuwid or of continuity of the reforms President Aquino has undertaken," he said.

"They are running on a campaign of 'Bagong Umaga' or change," Lacierda added.
