Video- Roxas to Romualdez 'You are a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino'

Watch DILG Sec. Mar Roxas telling to Alfred Romualdez  'We have to remember, you are a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino'.

Reading from a transcript, Roxas said the actual quote went as follows: “You have to understand you are a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino. He has to be very careful. The national government, we have to be very careful just taking over because the President does not want to be misconstrued na nang-aagaw ng kapangyarihan (as usurping power).”

The Palace on Tuesday defended President Benigno Aquino III and Interior Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas against the controversial statements made by Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez at yesterday’s congressional hearing on the aftermath of typhoon “Yolanda”.

"For an 18 sec clip, things may be taken out of context. But the tone of Sec. Roxas' voice is more like he is threatening who he is speaking to rather than saying how can the National Government help. If he wants legality, he should read RA 10121. DILG is the lead on disaster preparedness. Sec. Soliman is the one who is in-charge on relief and response."
