"The claim that there is 'no politics' in the appointment of Roxas is the height of hypocrisy and deception," said the CPP. "Roxas is president of the ruling Liberal Party. His ambitions of becoming president in 2016 is all over him."
"Ang pahayag na 'walang pulitika' sa likod ng pagkakatalaga kay Roxas ay sukdulang kaipokrituhan at panlilinlang," anang PKP. "Presidente si Roxas ng naghaharing Liberal Party. Punung-puno siya ng ambisyong maging presidente sa 2016."
