A video posted by Josemari Gonzalez, the father of Tacloban City Councilor Cristina “Kring Kring” Gonzalez, is now circulating online regarding the meeting between Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas and Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez.
In the video, Sec. Roxas is telling the Mayor Romualdez: “You have to understand, you’re a Romualdez and the President is an Aquino.”
In the news last Monday, Mayor Romualdez publicly broke down in tears while accusing President Benigno Aquino III as well as the Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II of “playing politics” at the height of the relief operations for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda particularly in the City of Tacloban.
Following this event, Sec. Roxas made some clarifications on his statement towards Mayor Romualdez and never denied the content of the video. The Interior Secretary reiterated that his statement is about telling the mayor on President Aquino’s being careful on his orders of taking over Tacloban given that their families are political rivals.
In another interview, Roxas denies he tried to edge out Tacloban Mayor Alfredo Romualdez. He also insists, Romualdez was never threatened because of his relations to the Marcos clan and it is the Tacloban mayor who is bringing politics into the issue.
