LINGAYEN –Former Finance undersecretary Jose Vicente “Jovy” C. Bengzon III predicted LP presidential candidate Mar Roxas and Rep. Leni Robredo will win the presidential and vice presidential races in Pangasinan, where Roxas won over then candidate Jejomar Binay in the 2013 vice presidential race.

He said it will happen “because of the Pangasinense’s preference for honest, accountable and transparent leaders.”

Bengzon III told members of the President Hotel Breakfast Club on Wednesday that Pangasinan will go for Roxas “because of his being an alter ego of President Aquino with the zealous straight path mantra of governance.”

Belying impressions that Roxas is an indecisive leader, he said it takes Roxas time to decide to avoid irregular and corrupt deals that would destroy the government.

Bengzon, a nephew of former Health Secretary Alran Bengzon and former Congressman Antonio Bengson in this capital town, also pitched for Rep Leni Robredo, widow of former DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo, as the “epitome” of a straight path public servant.” (Jun Velasco)
