PEDIGREE
The overriding impression that Roxas is an elitist is derived partly from his pedigree.
He comes from the wealthy and powerful Roxas and Araneta clans. His grandfather is former President Manuel Roxas. His father is the late Sen. Gerry Roxas, a former LP president who fought alongside Ninoy Aquino during Martial Law.
Roxas is a graduate of the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States.
His supporters insist his vast experience in government makes him more than qualified to be President. He’s been a member of both houses of Congress and a Cabinet secretary during the Estrada and Aquino administrations.
Casiple said no candidate, not even Binay, could really claim to “already know the job.â€
“The presidency is a one-time job,†he said. “What a vice president, senator, congressman, or Cabinet secretary does is far from what is required of a President.â€
