Aquino praises Mar, hits rival bets

President Benigno Aquino 3rd on Friday courted the support of Filipino expatriates in Italy in his administration’s pursuit to continue the daang matuwid or straight path policy by electing his anointed presidential candidate, former Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd, in next year’s elections.

In his speech, Aquino made the case for the continuation of his administration’s policies and reforms, saying he is unsure whether the other presidential candidates, except Roxas, would do the same.
