Presidential bet Mar Roxas has dug his political grave deeper by saying he does not need the votes of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) to clinch the 2016 presidential derby.
Roxas dished out the boast as Migrante, a militant group defending the rights of overseas workers, faulted the slow action by the administration of President Benigno Aquino against the bullet-planting (laglag-bala) syndicate which has been victimizing passengers, including OFWS, at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and provincial airports.
Roxas said the victims, not government, should be faulted for bringing bullets into the airport.
Migrante earlier warned the group would not vote for Roxas, Aquino’s former Interior secretary and standard bearer of the ruling Liberal Party.
Migrante and other groups have right to vote or not to vote for any candidate, said Roxas, unfazed by the Migrante threat, in an interview in Santiago City in Isabela Province on November 4.
Roxas is already facing rough waters in the race with his franchise over the bottom of surveys for presidential preference.
Roxas has consistently been lording as cellar dweller in surveys of both the Social Weather Stations (SWS) and Pulse Asia, miles behind independent bet Senator Grace Poe and Vice President Jejomar Binay of the opposition United Nationalist Alliance (UNA).
The 2016 presidential race is a four-cornered fight between Binay, Poe, Roxas and Senator Miriam Santiago. A fifth contender, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is not joining the derby despite strong public clamor.
Poe is not known to be involved in OFW concerns as a Senator and has yet to take a position on the laglag-bala issue.
GOTO DAVAO - LIFE IS HERE 
kaya pala pinaboksan balikbayan box at dipa na kontinto tinataniman pa nga bala mag ofw!

LAGLAG BALA, did anyone at the airport ask themselves what must be that so important to any of the victim of this laglag bala that they would bring along with them such BALA? Now to be fair, to all passengers, you are fully aware of the inspection be done at the airport, then why should you still bring BALA? On such issue, the government must have to protect the rights of passengers who are victims of such laglag bala and also must protect the workers at the airport who are also performing their oath of duties and responsibilities by installing adequate video cam with wide/big screen to all corners of that inspection area and even to all corners of the airport so that the public would be a witness as to who are really the scalawags. Kung maraming camera at wide screen at maraming mga tao ang makakakita sa wide screen siguro mahuhuli na kung sino ang nagsasabi ng totoo. ETO LANG ANG TANGING PARAAN PARA MALUTAS ANG PROBLEMA NG LAGLAG BALA SA LAHAT NG PALIPARAN DITO SA PILIPINAS.
