“As we celebrate (the MassKara Festival) we wear masks. But we should also be wary of people who put on masks because of other motives,” Korina Sanchez Roxas, wife of presidential aspirant Mar Roxas, said yesterday.
Roxas, who spoke at Bacolod City's 77 th Charter Day program at SMX Convention Center in Bacolod City last night, said “We should not allow ourselves to be deceived by those who are persuasive. Those who say there is a need for change.”
What is there to change? We do not know, she said.
