Roxas buying his way to the presidency

FOR a job that pays out a salary of just P120,000 a month, Liberal Party (LP) presidential bet Mar Roxas certainly isn’t shy about spending oodles of money in the race to Malacañang. His no-expense-spared strategy to winning the 2016 presidential derby shows that he is not above buying his way to the Palace.

That is what worries many voters who are understandably skeptical of his “daang matuwid” narrative. Everyone knows Roxas and his generous benefactors will have to recoup their expenses somehow. And if he were to hold the most powerful post in the country, that wouldn’t be so hard. There are a billion ways to recover their “investment” and more.
