DOTC Sec. Mar Roxas said during the recent swearing-in of new Liberal Party (LP) members here that it is because of the steadfast adherence of President Benigno S. Aquino to his Liberal Party ideals that has helped him put the nation on its present competitive status.

He particularly referred to the tagline ‘daang matuwid’ (straight path) as the overarching philosophy that guides the president and his administration to achieve significant reforms for the country.
