MANILA (Mabuhay) — President Benigno Aquino III made a pitch for administration standard bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas II and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo Thursday by urging voters to elect leaders with a proven track record instead of gambling the country’s future by choosing untested politicians.
Speaking at the forum of the Liga ng mga Barangay at the Philippine International Convention Center, Aquino called the team-up of Roxas and Robredo as the only “real” tandem who will be able to sustain the gains made by the administration.

Addressing the housands of barangay captains who were at the forum, the President said: “Ang lahat ng napagtagumpayan natin ay umpisa pa lamang ng transpormasyon at kayo ang magsasabi kung magtutuluy-tuloy tayo. Para nga ho mangyari ito, kailangan nating ihalal ang tunay na tambalang magpapatuloy ng Daang Matuwid. Para sa akin po, walang iba ‘yan kundi si Mar Roxas at Leni Robredo.”
Aquino said he trusts his “bosses”— the public—to make the right decision and choose leaders with experience come election day on May 9.
“Tiwala nga ako sa aking mga boss: Pipiliin ninyo ang tama at makatuwiran. Papanig sa may paninindigan at mayroon nang napatunayan. At talagang dadalhin ng ating bansa sa dapat nitong kalagyan,” he said. (MNS)
