Here’s an excerpt from Veronica’s article:

MANILA, Philippines–Senator Manuel Roxas II, who has been reported as the standard-bearer of the Liberal Party in the 2010 elections, has evaded all political questions regarding the presidential polls.

At a press conference in Pasay City, Roxas finished off all political questions with a presentation of three items on his legislative agenda: cheaper medicines, removing the value-added tax on petroleum products, and exempting minimum wage earners from paying income tax.

“[The elections] is still far off. We need to respond to the everyday needs of Juan Dela Cruz” was his response to questions regarding his presidential bid in 2010, the reported talks between the administration party Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats and his Liberal Party, and former president Joseph Estrada’s intention to run again in two years.

HERE are two video clips INQUIRER.net reporter Veronica Uy took during the oath taking of Senator Manuel Roxas II as Liberal Party president at Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City on Nov. 26.

Here’s a video of the actual oath taking.

And here’s Mar talking about the LP’s platform of government.

Is this a prelude to 2010?
