Who’s going to buy his answer?

“In the wake of reports that President Noynoy Aquino is considering other people to become the Liberal Party (LP) standard bearer in the 2016 presidential polls, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas said he is prepared to accept whoever is chosen by Aquino and their other partymates,” reports Ben Serrano in The Philippine Star.

Roxas was quoted as saying, “I will accept it. I did not declare I’m running anyway.”

He added, “It’s good that (the Liberal Party), including the President himself, will look, search for the best bet in 2016. It’s a normal process.”

Wow, that comment makes it seem like someone just poured a bucket of ice cold water all over what we thought were his plans.
