‘Fight Now Is Only Between Me And Duterte’, Says Roxas

Mar Roxas: ‘Fight Now Is Only Between Me And Duterte’

Liberal Party standard-bearer Mar Roxas recently said that the presidential race was only now down between him and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte.

He said this after overtaking Senator Grace Poe in the latest Pulse Asia survey.

According to a report in GMA News, Roxas said that he sees that the fight will just be between him and Duterte who’s currently on the top of the poll.

“Nakikita ko, kami na lang ni Mayor Duterte ang maglalaban dito. Tayo lang ang tumatayo para sa hayag, tapat at malinis na pamumuno,” he said as quoted in the article.

[I see that it’s only me and Mayor Duterte will fight (in the presidential race). We(Roxas) are the only standing for the open, honest, and clean leadership.]

The LP bet rose by two points to be in the second place just tying the presidential rival Sen. Grace Poe at 22 percent.

But, Duterte still leads the latest survey having 33 percent. Vice president Jejomar Binay has 17 percent while Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago has 2 percent in the survey.

Roxas said, the “momentum is with us”.

“Our rivals are going down, while we are going up. This is a reflection of the trust the people have continued to give us, and we thank them for it,” he said as quoted in Inquirer.

According to Roxas, he is certain to win the presidency as his Vice-presidential partner, Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo is currently at the top of the surveys.

Still, he criticized the leadership style of Rody Duterte like recalling Duterte’s statement about shutting down the Congress if he will be impeached. Roxas then asked, “isn’t that dictatorship?”.

Also, he mentioned about the mayor’s association with the Communist party saying that Duterte “will remove the system and replace it with Communism.”

Lastly, Roxas said:

“For me, the choice is very clear, if we want honest, clear leadership, [choose me]. If you want chaotic, directionless leadership built only on sound bites, it’s clear who’s the candidate for you.”
