Do they
think we were born yesterday?
The
opposition Otso Diretso coalition, cries that they are not a “yellow”
force. They have emphasized that they are not the Liberal Party (LP) and has
slammed insinuations that members’ unity, after former Interior Secretary Mar Roxas’ campaign manager
admitted that there is a concerted effort to
distance himself from the team.
“The story
of Otso Diretso or its individual members is not based on the story of the
Liberal Party or former President [Benigno] Aquino [III],” Magdalo Rep. Gary
Alejano said.

“There’s
propaganda to paint the previous administration or any critic or opposition
member as ‘yellow,’ and that we all have the same faces,” Alejano told
mediamen.
“Let’s not be
taken in by such propaganda,” he added.
Yellow is
Aquino’s color
The color
has always been associated with the Aquino’s from the late Corazon Aquino down
to his son Benigno Aquino III, both colors were used in their successful bid to
Malacanang.
In 2016, Mar
Roxas gave way to Noynoy Aquino to be the standard bearer for the Liberal
Party, this was considered now as a big mistake and regretted by Roxas, as it has
associated him fully to the Aquino’s yellow.
It was a
conscious decision [to change colors] because one mistake [Roxas] made in 2016
was acting like Robin to [Aquino’s] Batman . . . and Robin will never be
Batman,” Roxas campaign manager for the 2019 mid term elections Caloocan
representative Erice said.
