Department of Interior and Local Government. ARCHIVE

But in polls and in terms of crowd attendance, Roxas has come

Select Month
in a poor fourth. He su‾㌴ers from the traditional kiss of death of
an outgoing discredited president. He is known for
incompetence and mismanagement of the police forces.

He is widely ridiculed for having photographed himself clumsily

mimicking workers, carrying a sack of rice or driving a pedicab,
and for having no program to solve social and economic
problems.

He boasts of having a high political pedigree, being the grandson

of Manuel Roxas, the founder of the Liberal Party and the ㄵ⸶rst
president of the current Philippine puppet republic which was
established in 1946 through a nominal granting of independence
by the U.S.

The late Roxas had been a notorious puppet of the Japanese

fascist invaders but was reinvented by General Douglas
MacArthur as a double agent of the U.S. at the end of World War
II.

Mar Roxas is also a scion of the big comprador and landlord

Araneta family. He takes pride in having gotten his economics
degree from Wharton School in the U.S. He is a dogmatic
exponent of the neoliberal economic policy and, like the current
president, wants to perpetuate the dominance of U.S.
multinational ㄵ⸶rms and U.S. military forces over the Philippines.

Despite the fact that Roxas rates low in major polls and in
gathering crowds, both he and President Aquino are conㄵ⸶dent of
winning the presidential elections through electronic fraud. They
can have the fake electoral results pre-programmed and
embedded in the Smartmatic vote counting machines. The
Commission on Elections is composed of Aquino appointees and
headed by Andres Bautista, a cousin of Aquino and a former

electoral campaign planner to Roxas.

Most important of all, the Smartmatic company is controlled by

the CIA through the SGO holding company whose chairman is
Lord Malloch Brown, a long-time, top.level British intelligence
operative masquerading as a public relations expert.

He was the political adviser to Cory Aquino from 1985 onwards.

He was assigned by the CIA to countervail the earlier assignment
of the Black, Manafort and Stone public relations ㄵ⸶rm to the
dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

While it is easy for Aquino, Roxas and the CIA to cheat in the
presidential elections through the Smartmatic, they are playing
with ㄵ⸶re. The electoral fraud will certainly ignite the outrage and
resistance of the broad masses of the people who are already
su‾㌴ering from severe exploitation and oppression and want
revolutionary change. Armed resistance will arise from the
millions of Duterte followers who are likely to ally themselves
with the growing revolutionary forces and the Moro armies in
Mindanao.

Professor Jose Maria Sison is Chairperson of the International

League of Peoples’ Struggle.
