The Inheritance of Mar Roxas
There was a time when pundits were sympathetic with Mar Roxas. After he lost the vice presidency in 2010, he could have cruised to Malacañang after overhauling airports and trains as secretary of transportation and communications. He could have won public support by revamping the police, facing down crime, and dealing with the twin crises of conflict and disaster. Unlike Jesse Robredo, the much-loved Naga mayor forced to share power with Aquino cronies, Roxas began his term as chief of the interior with the full support of Benigno Aquino III. He had every opportunity to prove his effectiveness at the helm of two of the most vital government posts. He could have set the stage for an easy win in 2016.
Had Mar Roxas been a competent executive, had he understood that his presence in a crisis – “We were in Zamboanga from the very first day” – is not a virtue without actual results, and had he been able to see grievances against the Aquino administration as real instead of the jealous malice of critics, the presidency could have been his. He failed, and failed in full view of a desperate public.
It would be unfair to say that his charmed upbringing disqualifies him from a life of public service. It is not being a Roxas that makes him unfit, it is the belief that being a Roxas grants the presidency to a man so obviously unsuited for the role.
Here is a candidate so out of touch with his own constituency that he is unable to grasp that the majority of parents in the Philippines do not own cars, cannot afford private school buses, and consider themselves lucky when their children can go to school at all, even when they are forced to wade barefoot through rivers or risk getting run over by trucks thundering down the highways.

Roxas already in 2nd place, Robredo in 1st👍👍
This week excludes this Monday's drama at BPI Julia Vargas where the cowardly DU30 didn't deliver
Consistently in 4th!!! Kahit ano gawin, he will be staying at 4th... Abnoy kasi at idiot at stupid.
Bro., good morning! Sino ba ang malakas diyan sa lugar ninyo?
May namimili na ba ng boto riyan?
Dito sa southern provinces,- takot bumoto ang mga tao,- dahil pilit binili ang boto nila,- at alam kung sino ang ibinoto nila- alam kasi ang presinto e.... Grabe!
And BTW, you sounded to me like bro.macsd....

Too close to call in here though there's also quite a lot of gullibles (you know what i mean). I am actively (in my own little ways) campaigning for #RoRo and #NoToDu30 here. I think i can be able to influence half of my people here (and that's already 1k out of more than 2k). Persuasion and not forcing. hehe
Allow me to rephrase that bro.,- Roxas is far behind in second place....
Again,- his heaviest baggage is his "affiliation" to the current administration.
I am happy for Robredo. She has managed to keep herself at an arm's length from the current administration through her track record....
Now,- it should be "my loyalty to my party ends, where my loyalty to my country begins"

alam niyo sa tingin ko ang mag make or break ng campaign ni roxas iyong beneficiaries ng 4Ps program ng current admin. ang dami niyan sa bukid nakikinabang at alam nila na pag mag-iba ang admin, malaking tsansa na mawawala ang 4Ps program
kausap ko lang about 2 nights ago habang dinner iyong mga kasambahay namin at talagang naniniwala sila na dapat daw manalo si roxas kasi baka maputol ang 4Ps program kung iba na ang uupo. ang laking tulong daw sa mga anak nila kasi nakakaposok na sa eskwela imbis na agtratrabaho para may mailagay sa hapag kainan. so they're intelligent enough, even though they're detached from main stream society, that the roxas-robredo tandem needs to win in order to attain continuity of the programs that benefit them the most
Take it as one, bro.
And bro.Sarsi and I have personal experiences and pictures to back up that statement.
Agree bro. The 4P beneficiaries will make a difference in this election.
Dapat ituloy iyan at i-expand in coverage and number,- no matter what the outcome of the election is. It is a novel way of breaking the cursed "vicious cycle"....
