The 2019 mid term elections has long been touted as a referendum
as regards President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s popularity.
From his 2016 presidential win, it has been marked if
the “Duterte magic” can still work in the mid term elections.
Politics has always been a numbers game, a Congress
that is dominated by Duterte aligned politicians is most definitely an advantage
– State policies will be properly and expeditiously coordinated between the
Legislative and Executive departments – the most ideal set up for a country
that is hoping to sustains its economic gains while our infrastructure projects
all over the country are on its way to completion.

Now, if surveys are to be believed, most administration
backed senatorial candidates are in a brink of history for being the first
group to blank the opposition in the 12 seat senate, if not the most is 10
administration backed candidates and 2 opposition bets.
Of the two, former Interior secretary Mar Roxas is
still hoping to catch the last slot which is number 12, imagine just the last
number from someone who vied for the presidency last 2016.
The Daily Tribune published an article (04/17/2019)
titled “Yellow’ demise” wherein it exhaustively expoused the uselessness of
being associated with Benigno Aquino’s Yellow cult, and how the political
career of Mar Roxas is forever ruined being associated with the yellow cult.
The gambit apparently came too late for Roxas since the voters
will merely see through his desperation and only strengthen Rody’s assessment
that he is a political butterfly with the way he easily shifted alliance from
former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo where he was the Trade Secretary to
Noynoy in whose term he assumed several posts at his convenience
It is futile for Roxas to classify himself as a candidate
independent from the yellows since he had long been a kingpin of the LP and the
main beneficiary of the yellow regime of Noynoy.
Noynoy even anointed him as a possible successor as
payback to his supposed giving way as the LP standard bearer back in 2010.
For purposes of public information, convenience,
clarity and truthfulness we are quoting in full the editorial commentary of the
Daily Tribune.
Yellows’ demise
It is tragic to watch how the yellow mob is self-destructing and
has sunk to being similar to a pack of rabid canines tearing at each other that
will hasten their extinction.
From the ordeal of Jim Paredes and his “mini” show to
lately Mar Roxas and former President Noynoy Aquino’s spat, the yellow
predicament indicates the Liberal Party (LP) and its supporters are descending
to perdition.
Roxas’ campaign manager, Caloocan 2nd District Rep. Edgar Erice,
blew the lid open by blaming the defeat of Roxas in the 2016 presidential race
to Noynoy, while saying that Roxas is discarding yellow for blue as a campaign
color.
The color shift is hard to swallow since the yellow
ribbon had bound both Noynoy and Roxas since political eternity.
Roxas apparently accepted the reality that the color
of hubris had lost its luster and Noynoy and his cabal had no credibility with
the Filipino nation.
Erice said there was a conscious decision to change
colors because one mistake Roxas made in 2016 was to act like Robin to Aquino’s
Batman.
“Robin will never be Batman,” Erice said.
The crumbling yellow monolith became too obvious after
Noynoy’s celebrity sister Kris Aquino joined the fray lashing out at Erice for
blaming Noynoy for Roxas’ downfall.
“Really — to blame his loss on my brother?” Aquino
said in a now-archived Instagram post.
“So even his loss in 2010 was also the fault of Noy?” she added,
referring to Roxas’ defeat in the vice-presidential race in 2010.
Roxas, however, is desperately disassociating himself
with the yellow Otso Diretso in the hope of
securing sympathy votes from the supporters of President Rody Duterte and
prevent a shutout of the opposition, which seems imminent with the trend in the
latest pre-poll surveys.
The gambit apparently came too late for Roxas since
the voters will merely see through his desperation and only strengthen Rody’s
assessment that he is a political butterfly with the way he easily shifted
alliance from former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo where he was the Trade
Secretary to Noynoy in whose term he assumed several posts at his convenience
It is futile for Roxas to classify himself as a candidate
independent from the yellows since he had long been a kingpin of the LP and the
main beneficiary of the yellow regime of Noynoy.
Noynoy even anointed him as a possible successor as
payback to his supposed giving way as the LP standard bearer back in 2010.
Of course, Roxas had no chance of winning the
presidency at that time based on his poor survey numbers and the LP had Noynoy
who was then enjoying a yellow euphoria after the death of his mother Cory
Aquino.
To most voters, the sudden switch of Roxas only showed
his true political color which is neither yellow nor blue but a traitorous gray
which is neither here nor there in terms of principle.
The effort obviously is to disconnect himself from Noynoy who is
considered to have the kiss of political death to anybody associated with him
due to the many cases he is facing, among which are the Dengvaxia scandal, the
Disbursement Acceleration Program anomalies and the Mamasapano carnage of 44
Special Action Force commandos.
Roxas had been known to have exerted great efforts to
portray himself as having no hand in the missteps of Noynoy which is a farfetched
illusion.
Wherever Noynoy went, Roxas the doppelganger was
there.
The yellow mob is disintegrating and so is the
political future of Noynoy, Roxas and the scheming LP.
