MANILA, Philippines — Upon making his tandem with Camarines Sur Rep. Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo, Liberal Party standard-bearer Manuel "Mar" Roxas II said that their partnership is not about party politics.
"Ang pinaglalaban namin ni Leni sa Daang Matuwid ay hindi tungkol sa isang tao, hindi tungkol sa isang tandem o isang partido, tungkol ito sa lahat ng mga pangarap ng lahat ng pamilyang Pilipino, pangarap na mamuhay nang dangal," Roxas said.
