Senator Roxas withdraws, Senator Aquino uncertain

Today at Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan, Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas II made his formal announcement about his withdrawal from the 2010 presidential race. Said was made in support for his partymate Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III who was then being pushed by several organizations to run for the presidency.

Some said that Noynoy is not yet ready to hold the highest position in the land. He is still inexperience and still needs to prove his worth. But for me, maybe I can go for someone who might be yes inexperience but with a pure heart to lead our country. The big issue now among our politicians is the issue on morality which I think the late Senator Benigno and Cory Aquino was able to hand down to their children.

On the other hand, Senator Roxas’ withdrawal was indeed comes very surprisingly as he was came prepared and planned with his campaigns. Of course we have to take from what he said: For the party (Liberal Party) and for the Filipino people. Although after the withdrawal, Senator Roxas’ political plans was open ended because there’s no clear statement from him as to what happens next. And as for Noynoy, his decision is still on cue until upon a certain time when he reveals his political plans for the coming 2010 election. Read here for more details.
