Defeated vice-presidential candidate Mar Roxas shrugs off the importance of his role in the Aquino administration.
He described his job merely as the President Benigno Aquino's water boy who runs errands for the President and follows his orders. "Water boy, water boy lang yun.. kung ano lang iutos," he said after Aquino's statement that Roxas will be one of his chief troubleshooters.
Roxas said he is just helping President Aquino in whatever capacity.
Aquino earlier said he will tap Roxas's services in an official capacity when the one-year ban against appointing losing candidates in the elections ends.
The president did not name the exact position he will give to Roxas, saying the defeated vice-presidential bet will serve as one of his top “troubleshooters.”
“I-the-thresh out pa ang details. It will take effect June 30, yung end of the ban. Pero I will really be tapping his expertise on so many aspects. He might be one of my chief troubleshooters. If there’s something that needs more intense attention, I might ask him to do that, if he is willing,” President Aquino told reporters after hosting the traditional New Year’s vin d’ honneur in Malacañang.
Roxas, however, downplayed his role saying there's nothing to fix in the Aquino Cabinet.
"Wala namang trouble eh. Napaka-husay ng takbo ng gobyerno kaya kung ano man lang ang iutos ng Pilipino ay tutulong tayo. Lahat tayo ay interesado at tutulong sa tagumpay ng gobyerno ni Pangulong Aquino," he said.
