Roxas had been working for the good of the country way back even during pres. cory's time... Simply google it and one will see an impressive track record of accomplishments. Apparently the "achievements" often seem to take the backseat simply because they're not necessarily sensational (like authoring the generics law, BPO industry, better budget for education) boring para sa media, so to speak. And, whether we like it or not it's generally what we see in the media that influences how we perceive people (or presidentiable for that matter). Pwera na lang siguro kung privy ka sa mga pangyayari....Si GP ba, anong achievements? Maka google nga[emoji4]

Erap was convicted by the Sandiganbayan for the crime of plunder. He went to the Supreme Court assailing the constitutionality of the plunder law but was rebuffed. It took a MAR ROXAS to author a senate resolution asking president arroyo to pardon this convicted plunderer who almost won the presidency again but settled as the mayor of the capital. Roxas justified his resolution that granting pardon to erap would put closure to that tumultuous part of our republic. But that was baloney. The truth is, he courted the erap supporters because he already had the presidency in his mind. Roxas is spineless. Despite of his kilometric qualifications and achievements, he will never be a good leader of the Filipino nation because he does not have the moral courage that is ask of every good leader.

One of the biggest failures of BS Aquino is the MTR 3... Guess who was the DOTC secretary who ordered the removal of the long time maintenance provider and bidded it out to a incompentant one...

MANILA, Philippines - Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas took a swipe at Japanese firm Sumitomo Corp., the current operations and maintenance contractor of the MRT Line 3 (MRT-3), for the frequent breakdown of trains and the discomfort of the over half a million daily passengers.

In a press briefing on Monday, March 26, Roxas cited the "weak" O&M (operations and maintenance) contract that binds the government to the services of Sumitomo.

“These are the weaknesses of the old contract, which were negotiated 10 to 15 years ago. So we are now suffering because of the weaknesses of the contract which we can only correct when the new contact is bided out this year,” he said.

He cited as example the minimum number of trains that Sumitomo is required to deploy under the current contract. He said Sumitomo, which is maintaining only 20 train sets, is penalized only if the trains running along the MRT-3 line goes down to 18.

Roxas said this minimum figure is not enough to ferry the current number of passengers taking the high-traffic MRT-3. The rail system is designed to carry at least 350,000 passengers a day though daily traffic peaks at over 500,000.

How many will vote for Mar Roxas despite Korina Sanchez ending up being first lady???

Korina Sanchez tells critics: ‘Bring it on’

TV broadcaster Korina Sanchez, wife of Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II who on Friday was officially backed by President Benigno Aquino III as the administration’s presidential bet for 2016, said she is ready for criticisms that will be hurled at them.

“Matagal na akong binabatikos. Bring it on! Handang handa na rin ako. Alam mo ang turo sa akin ni Mar kung hindi totoo, hindi didikit ‘yan ang tawag d’on Teflon effect. Lahat ng opinyon welcome kung makakabuti para sayo bakit hindi. Kung talagang papansinin mo lahat ‘yan hindi ka makakilos,” Sanchez told reporters after Aquino’s official endorsement on Roxas at Club Filipino in Greenhills.

(I have long been criticized. Bring it on! I am ready. Mar has taught me that if it is not true, it should not stick; it’s called Teflon effect. All opinions are welcome, much more those which will make you better. But if you mind all of them, you will not be able to function.)



Roxas, despite lagging in presidential surveys, was endorsed by Aquino at the ‘historic’ Club Filipino where it witnessed events such as Aquino’s late mother former President Corazon Aquino’s oath taking.

It was also the same place where he announced that he would give way to Aquino’s presidential candidacy in 2009.

Sanchez said she shares the passion for public service with her husband, and this could help out in his candidacy.

“Charity has always been part of my life. For 30 years nakasanayan ko na ang pagtulong sa tao kasi ako gusto ko mano-mano sa mahihirap, ‘yun ang calling ko sa buhay. So du’n na ako sa frontline sa mga tao lalo na sa probinsya,” she said.

(Charity has always been part of my life. For 30 years, I have been used to helping people because I like being with the poor—that’s my calling in life. So I want to be in the frontline when serving the people especially those in the province.)

For Sanchez, who used to be one of the three anchors of ABS-CBN’s flagship news program “TV Patrol,” Roxas’ presidential candidacy would also mean she has to sacrifice her career.

“I think it’s a big sacrifice that kelangan mong iwan ang karera mo. Pero alam mo nag-uulat lang kasi tayo. Bagamat napaka importante maging isang mamamahayag, malaki rin ang panawagan ng aktwal na serbisyo publiko. It’s really not about me, it’s about the bigger calling of my husband. I will always be secondary to that. Handa akong magsakripisyo para sa mas malaking adhikain kasi napakaliit ko lang eh malaki ang dapat gawin para sa bansa. Kung si Mar ang makakagawa noon, iiwan ko lahat,” Sanchez said.

(I think it’s a big sacrifice that one has to leave one’s career. But you know, we are just a broadcaster. While the job of a journalist is very important, the call for actual public service weighs more. It’s really not about me—it’s about the bigger calling of my husband. I will always be secondary to that. I am ready to make sacrifices for a bigger mission because I am only small compared to the big things that need to be done in the country. If Mar will be able to do that, I will leave everything (to help him.).

BS Aquino keeps proclaiming Mar Roxas as the "Father of Philippine BPO industries". Was it really Mars initiative or was it Gloria's, since he was working under her that time? BS Aquino has a habit of credit grabbing...

Former official of BPO says GMA should be credited for growth of industry
Written by Charlie V. Manalo Friday, 03 October 2014 00:00 f


A former top executive in the business process outsourcing and information technology (IT) industry yesterday asserted it was former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who laid the successful model that led to the growth of the BPO industry.

Oscar Sañez, who served as CEO of the IT and Business Processing Association of the Philippines (IBPAP) from 2007 to 2011, said the BPO industry owes much of its growth to the former President because she laid a successful model for the industry.

“As the CEO of the BPAP from 2007 to 2011, I know how much the business process offshoring and outsourcing sector owes Mrs. Arroyo. We are proud to describe ourselves as a successful model of real private public partnership or PPP,” Sañez said in a statement.

Sañez said he issued the statement after hearing President Aquino often referring to the term of the former President as a “lost decade.”

“It is disappointing to read about President Aquino’s frequent references to the term of President Arroyo as a ‘lost decade,’” he said, adding he should present a “more objective assessment of how his predecessor performed when he delivers his public pronouncements.”

Sañez pointed out industry figures, which are of official and public record, would show that the BPO grew impressively under the watch of Mrs. Arroyo because of her support.

“From only 2,400 call center workers in 2000, the BPO sector grew to nearly half a million workers by the end of 2009, PGMA’s last full year in office. The industry grew on the average by an astounding 65 percent per annum over the decade. Total export revenues generated by the IT-BPO industry grew from only $1.3 billion in 2003 to $8.9 billion in 2010,” he said.

He added the growth was fuelled by the “support initiatives” of the former President which included encouraging the establishment of BPAP; creating the Commission on Information and Communication Technology-CICT; providing investor support through BoI and PEZA, which included accrediting buildings used by the industry; driving regional initiatives under CICT (Cyber Corridor) and the Department of Trade and Industry’s Regional Operations and Development Group; completing infrastructure programs such as airports, and investing in training vouchers from Tesda worth over P800 million from 2007-09 alone.

[b}Mrs. Arroyo, he further stated, led many investment missions in the United States and United Kingdom to host IT-BPO investment presentations and reception events that resulted in record foreign investment gains for the country.[/b]

Because of such support, the IT-BPO industry has become a significant component of the Philippine economy which he said should be one of Mrs. Arroyo’s “enduring legacies” which the Filipinos should be thankful for.

“Today the IT-BPO industry, together with our OFWs, employs hundreds of thousands of young people, contributes to the liquidity that drives general prosperity and stabilizes the macroeconomy against external shocks. This is an enduring legacy that we can thank Mrs. Arroyo for,” he stressed.

He also stated that he is sure there are many success stories under the Arroyo administration that should be brought out.

“I am sure there are many others who, like me, have their own success stories to tell about PGMA,” he said.
