Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas, president of the ruling Liberal Party, said over the weekend he had no plans of running for president in 2016.
“I can honestly, sincerely, absolutely, transparently tell you that I have no plans,†said Roxas, when asked by the Inquirer if he would run for president in 2016 on the sidelines of the Capiztahan festival in Roxas City Saturday.
But he added that he was at his party’s “disposal.â€
Roxas is widely assumed to be the next standard-bearer of the LP. Roxas dropped his presidential ambitions in 2010 to give way to then Sen. Benigno Aquino III, running instead as the LP’s vice presidential bet. But while Mr. Aquino emerged victorious, Roxas lost to Binay—a surprise winner in that race.
