Last Tuesday, in a jam-packed crowd at Club Filipino, Liberal Party presidentiable Sen. Mar Roxas announced that he is giving way to Sen. Noynoy Aquino's bid in 2010 Philippine Presidential Elections.
“Noy has made it clear to me that he wants to carry the torch of leadership. The parting of our beloved President Cory has reawakened a passion among us,” Roxas said, reading from a prepared statement.
“I see this as fuel to bring us to the realization of our dreams: Good will win over evil,” said Roxas, who as early as April had mounted a spirited campaign for the presidency by launching a series of “infomercials.”
“Noynoy and I want to make a difference, but we also know that we need to unite to achieve what we want,” he said.
Noynoy Aquino told reporters, "Give this day to Mar", as he is expected to hold a press conference today on this development. Opposition party leaders welcomed Roxas' move and commended the senator for "sacrificing his dream for the country".
