LP divided on Roxas

INTERIOR Secretary Manual “Mar” Roxas 2nd may be enjoying the support of top officials of the Liberal Party (LP) but his bid to replace President Benigno Aquino 3rd may be dampened by the lack of backing of party officials in the grassroots level, according to a lawyer who is closely associated with the camp of Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source, interviewed by The Manila Times on Wednesday, said unless the camp of Roxas changes its “teledrama” approach in packaging him, it would be difficult to “sell” him to voters.
