Statement of Partido Liberal President Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan On the decision of former DILG Sec. Mar Roxas to run in the 2019 Elections

Lahat ng mga kandidato natin sa oposisyon, may kani-kanyang lakas at kakayahan. Ang nagbibigkis sa kanila: Yung mga pangarap nila para sa bansa; yung pagsusumikap para matupad ang mga pangarap na yun; yung pagtulong ng walang hinihintay na kapalit. For a public servant like Mar, the basic values that bind us— a sense of duty, of not quitting on the country — these basic values will always prevail.

Mar Roxas is a stalwart of the Liberal Party. Now that he’s on board, the opposition coalition enters the elections with even firmer resolve.
