Filipino voters uphold our stand about the BS Aquino regime

AS we write this editorial, the latest count shows that of the 41,164,560 (or 41 million plus) votes counted, 31,505,982 (31.5 million plus votes, which represent the same number of Filipinos) reject Mar Roxas, President B.S. Aquino’s chosen and zealously supported successor, and Mr. Aquino’s so-called reform governance. Roxas proudly carried the “Matuwid na Daan” banner before, during and after the campaign, and vowed to continue his master’s so-called governance reforms and anti-corruption thrust.

BS Aquino, confident of victory because of Malacañang’s billions, logistics and control of local officials, had arrogantly proclaimed that the 2016 presidential election was a referendum on Matuwid na Daan. He was sure that he could then boast that Mr. Roxas’ winning the presidency was Filipino people’s expression of satisfaction with the Aquino regime’s policies and performance as well as Aquino’s personal claim of having operated an honest and clean government.
