The ascent of Manuel Roxas II to Malacañang, guaranteed by Noynoy from the start of his presidency, does not only leave a bad taste in the mouth but is an assault on the dignity of the highest seat of the land.

It presupposes that a deal was struck between Noynoy and Roxas or possibly the leadership of the Liberal Party (LP) for obtaining the presidency and later apportion the powers that the office brings.

It was Roxas whom the LP wanted to push for the presidency, if not for his lack of ability to impress a believable image of his supposedly being for the masses.

Exactly the same as what I've anticipated since before the election time.

Sa una palang, balak na ni Roxas tumakbo ng pagka-pangulo pero since marahil ay medyo risky na mahirap mahulaan ang tagumpay nya. Inalok nya si noynoy para tumakbo sa pagka-presidente

From this point, gagamitin ni Roxas ang reputatio ni Noynoy bilang ka party list nya para manalo. Kampante sya na kahit manalo lng syang vice-pres, magagawa nyang puppet lng si Noynoy

To ensure the success, pinakasalan nya ang isa sa pinaka-popular at pinaka-impluwensyal na news caster sa Pilipinas.

Ang resulta... natalo sya lalo't malaki ang naging hatak ng pagsuporta ni chiz kay binay.

Pero sa ngayon, ang nakikita natin ay mga countermoves ni roxas.

gagamitin nyang puppet ang nanalong presidente and at the same time papalawakin nya ang kanyang reputation through using the reason na siya ang tumutulong sa presidente ngaun
