Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.’s allegation that the Aquino administration has a supposed “Plan B” if Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte wins the presidency is just a “figment of his imagination,” administration standard bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas II said Saturday.
“Palagay ko ay kathang-isip lang niya ito at hindi ko alam kung saan niya nakuha ito. Ito’y mga desperadong pananalita sa huling yugto nitong kampanya na ito,” Roxas told reporters in a media briefing at the Liberal Party (LP) headquarters in Cubao, Quezon City.
“Nalamangan na siya ni magiging Vice President Leni Robredo at naniniwala ako na tuluy-tuloy ang momentum para kay Leni Robredo, tulad nang tuluy-tuloy na momentum para kay Mar Roxas,” he added.
It will be a neck-and-neck fight for the vice presidency for Robredo and Marcos, according to the latest surveys conducted by Pulse Asia and the Social Weather Stations.
On Friday, Marcos warned of the pre-elections surveys being manipulated to establish a fake trend that could be part of the “Plan B” the administration hatched to ensure a Robredo victory.
“Tapos, ipapanalo nila si Robredo at i-impeach si (Mayor Rodrigo) Duterte pagka si Duterte ang nanalo. 'Yun daw ang plano para LP pa rin ang namumuno. That's what I hear at kalat na kalat na 'yun,” Marcos said.
Robredo, for her part, also dismissed Marcos’ accusations, saying the ruling Liberal Party (LP) is determined to make Roxas win.
“Yung LP ba gini-give up ba ‘yung fight para kay Secretary? Hindi naman yata ganun. Kami ang ginagawa namin, magkasama namin inumpisahan ito, magkasama namin tong tatapusin,” she said in a separate interview.
“Saan ba to nanggagaling? Ang impeachment na walang basehan, masamang masama ito sa ating bansa. Bakit ko ito gagawin?” Robredo added.
Robredo appealed to Marcos to spare her from the black propaganda, just days before the May 9 elections.
She said she had been seeing posts on social media attacking her credibility and reputation after she managed to overtake Marcos in the surveys.
“The day na nag-number one ako sa surveys, sobrang dami ng black propaganda...Ang pakiusap ko kay Senator Bongbong ay lumaban nang patas,” Robredo said.
