Oh, really?!
“After a month-long word war on the government’s response to Typhoon Yolanda, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas and Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez said there is no bad blood between them,” reports Andreo C. Calonzo on GMA News Online.
Both Romualdez and Roxas faced reporters after the congressional post-Yolanda assessment on Thursday, Jan 23. They shook hands and posed for photos.
Romualdez said, “We’ve always been friends. Si Secretary Mar, kahit wala pa sa pagka-Secretary, we were together in Congress.”
For his part, Roxas said that the issue between him and Romualdez was just “blown out of proportion.”
