Netizens slam Abad, Binay, Roxas in welcoming the Pope
MANILA, Philippines - A few government officials were criticized on social media upon welcoming Pope Francis on Thursday.
Vice President Jejomar Binay, Department of Budget Secretary Florencio "Butch" Abad and Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel "Mar" Roxas II were bashed by netizens as they were able to kiss and shake hands with the Pope.
JUST IN: Sec. Mar Roxas also kissed the Pope's ring. You are a Bergoglio, the President is an Aquino. 'La lang. Enjoy your stay.

Buti pa si Mar Roxas the politician nakalapit kay Pope. Paano na si Mar Roxas not the politician?

And to Mar Roxas: for turning off our phones, you turned on my wrath mode on you.
