Can Mar’s word be trusted?

IF Secretary Mar Roxas can only be consistent, we can say that his pronouncements come from a principled stand. Otherwise, he’s just an ordinary politician going where the wind blows.

As opposition senator, Roxas made a lot of proposals and denunciations that helped heighten the unpopularity of the Arroyo administration. I dutifully kept a record of his statements in the Senate, as I did with many other senators past and present. The record showed that the Senator Roxas who was very vocal with perceived failings of the Arroyo administration, particularly on oil prices and revenue, is nowhere to be found since the advent of the Aquino administration.
