CEBU CITY, Philippines — Liberal Party presidential candidate Mar Roxas led at least 50 volunteers in inaugurating the LP headquarters located at the Manros Plaza along General Maxilom Avenue in Cebu City on Thursdaymorning, vowing anew to “give everything” in his fight to become the next president of the country.
Lawyer Democrito Barcenas, who heads the group, said they chose to throw their support to former interior secretary Mar Roxas and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo because they wanted to continue the programs of the Aquino administration.
Barcenas lauded Roxas as the most qualified to become president among all the presidential candidates.
“Ibibigay ko lahat sa laban na ito. Hindi ito para sa akin (I will give everything for this fight. This is not for me) but for the dignity of Filipinos and the good of the country. We have yet to reach paradise but we have seen the fruits of our labor under PNoy,” Roxas said in a message, which he delivered during the headquarters opening. SFM
