It is pretty obvious why President Aquino defended DAP so much during his last speech. His best friend Mar Roxas just got P10 billion from it for a project that is not among the mandate of the DILG. The man responsible for giving him that amount is none other than Department of Budget secretary Butch Abad. The amount could very well give Roxas a good start for his presidential campaign com 2016. Mar is expected to be the leading candidate of the Liberal Party for the upcoming presidential elections. As early as now, he could be preparing for this since it is always an advantage over other opponents if you prepare early.
It does not appear that Mar Roxas is contented with his post as secretary of DILG as he is getting funds for other projects that are not under DILG. Now that it is made public that he was given P10 billion from the DAP, will Mar step out of the presidential race? He could still run for president in the upcoming elections since he has nothing to lose anyway. If you lose in the presidential elections then you won’t really lose much.
However, it is one thing to be addressed as the president of the country so it is understandable why a lot of people would love to become a president here. Mar Roxas was supposed to run for presidency in the last presidential elections but being a good friend that he is, he decided to give way to his best friend Ninoy Aquino in running for the post. When Pnoy’s term is over, Mar looks to become the next president. However, he should be careful with what he is doing during his term as the vice president since the people are watching his every move then decide from there.
