Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas gives way to Noynoy for the Presidential bid
In a surprising move that will sparks the start of a unified opposition against the Gloria Arroyo administration and her anointed one, Presidential aspirant-Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II formally announced his withdrawal from the 2010 Philippine presidential race.
It signals his total support for the possible candidacy of Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III as the presidential candidate of the Liberal Party in the 2010 elections.
But still I don't believe that there will be a single opposition candidate. Many are thirst to hold the highest position in the land.
