Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque isn’t dismissing administration candidate Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s chances in the May 2022 presidential race.

Roque, speaking in the Kapihan sa Manila Bay news forum Wednesday, Oct. 20, said the support that the administration can give to Dela Rosa to boost his candidacy cannot be belittled.“I think the advantage of being an administration candidate is you have the entire administration behind you. And I think this was shown in the case of Mar Roxas whom we all knew was not popular from the very beginning but managed to finish second after President Duterte,” he said.

Roxas was the annointed one of then-President Benigno S. Aquino III. He managed to get over 9.9 million votes, second only to then-Davao City Mayor Duterte’s 16 million. “Whether or not he’s popular, the fact that number one, there is a pandemic now, which makes command votes even more important for the success of a candidate, you cannot discount that even if Senator Bato is now lagging in the polls, that he will find himself number one soon,” Roque said.

“I’m still Spokesperson. Wait a while, if I leave, ask me again,” he said, followed by a burst of laughter.
