NAKAKUHA ng magandang kakampi sa politika ang presidential candidate na si dating SILG Secretary Mar Roxas sa Pasay City.
Nitong Martes ng umaga, hindi akalain ng manok ni PNoy na punong-puno ang Cuneta Astrodome nang pumasok sa coliseum si Roxas.
Halos lahat sa mga dumalo sa show-up campaign ni Roxas sa Cuneta Astrodome ay pawang mga nakasuot ng kulay dilaw at kulay green na t-shirts, simbolo na ang akay-akay ni Mayor Tony Calixto sa darating na presidential na halalan ay si Manong Roxas ng Liberal Party (LP).
Hindi naman masisi ang very strong na incumbent mayor sa Pasay na si Mayor Calixto dahil matagal na ring kasapi at naging opisyal ng LP si yorme TC.
Hindi lamang si TC ang nagpakita ng suporta sa kandidatura ni Roxas sa Pasay. Maging ang mayor sa San Juan, Metro Manila na ermat ni Senator JV Ejercito ay “open for public” din na dumeklara na ang manok nila para sa 2016 national elections ay walang iba kundi si Mar Roxas ng LP.
Anyway, well and good kung ang lahat ng mayors sa Metro Manila ay susuporta at magbibigay ng malaking datos ng boto para kay Roxas at kay vice presidentiable candidate Atty. Leni Robredo.

‘Ako ang orig sa Pasay!’
NAGKAUSAP kami kahapon by cellphone ni Konsehal Onie Bayona.
Sa pamamagitan ng column na ito, ipinararating niya sa mga residente sa Pasay na siya pa rin ang chairman ng United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) sa lungsod, taliwas sa ipinakakalat ng ibang ‘destroyers’ na mahilig manira sa politika.
Anyway, totoo ang sinasabi ni Bayona na siya ang orig na opisyal ng UNA sa Pasay. Kay VP Jojo Binay pa siya nanumpa.
