In the article posted at the CBCP’s online portal called CBCP News, the article says that a Caritas Philippines official “lashed out at a comic book that portrayed presidential candidate Mar Roxas as a “hero” during the height of typhoon Yolanda.”
According to the article, Fr. Edwin Gariguez, executive secretary of Caritas Philippines, called the campaign material “shameful and unacceptable propaganda.”
“In conscience, I need to belie this hypocritical claim of Mar Roxas claiming to be a hero in the emergency response,” Gariguez was quoted as saying in reaction to Roxas’s comic book.
Fr. Gariguez added, “We need to bring truth and decency in our electoral process. A call that I dare to make to all candidates.”
Caritas Philippines aka the National Secretariat for Social Action-Justice and Peace (Nassa), the humanitarian and advocacy arm of the bishops.
It can be recalled that over the weekend, members of the Liberal Party distributed the 28-page comic book “Sa Gitna ng Unos” (In the Eye of the Storm) in Cavite, perhaps to give the cellar-dwelling ratings of the LP bet, a lift.
However, as the comic book made its way into the social media, the LP presidential standard bearer found itself in the middle of a raging tempest as angry netizens lashes at Mar Roxas for allegedly ‘padding’ his exploits in the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda.
Fr. Jazz Siapco, director of Lipa Archdiocesan Social Action Center, also criticized the comic book as “misleading” and only meant to advance a political agenda.
Fr. Siapco added, “He is not a hero. I would consider those who have helped silently in their own little ways the heroes. They are the real heroes.”

This confirms mayor duterte’s statement against mar roxas is a pretentious leader, a fraud… pretending to be a hero when he is not.. in fact the opposite. .. his statement was bahala kayo sa buhay ninyo…
Kapal mukha mo mar…
120% true roxas is pretentious
absolutely correct…
Sana nga magising tayo sa katotohanan na hindi lahat ng disenteng magsalita at disenteng kumilos sa
Publiko ay tunay na disente. Sila yung pag binigyan mo ng matindi g pagsubok sa buhay ay pipiliing unahin ang sariling kapakanan kesa sa kapakanan ng nakararami.
Ang gumawa ba ng comics ay inutusan ni Mar. Hindi kaya sya isa sa mga nagsasabi ng tutuo na si Mar nga ay Hero sa Yolanda typhon noon.
Kapal talaga. Feeling nya may amnesia ang mga netizens.
Kupal kasi tong mar nato.. iniisip nya na ang bobo ntin na hindi alam ang nangyayari dito pinas..
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in fixing the problem
Climate change is too serious for any President/Nation (Government & People) to ignore its danger. Hazards brought about by Climate Change & our Geography is imminent and will worsen @ bigger scale/interval, thus Super Typhoon every year is now the NEW NORM.
It’s not just comic book, please note that Mar Roxas was boasting during the 2-Presidential debate.

Obviously because of the PR disaster & outburst @social media, they will deny having written or printed the comic book which is clearly meant to:
1. To spread misinformation and deceive our people (masa)
2. To re-write history in order to revise how’d he performed.
3. To portray himself a hero/savior when he in fact made many blunders.
Frustrated…
DYAN MAGALING SI ROXAS SA BRAINWASHING
pretentious- Mapagwari….nakakahira…
Dahil sa sicial media hindi na totally madadaya ng mga oligark na eto ang mga mamayan kc mayroon ng neutral ground sa gusto makaalam ng katotohanan. Mabuti na lang at may fb at di mga pinoy na oligark ang nagmamayari. Kaya kayo n mga trapo magayos ayos na kayo at eto n simula ng pagkakaalis nyu sa mga kpit tuko sa pwesto.
Nakakahiya naman yang comics na yan. Si Mar nga ang focus nyan dahil comics nya yan pero sa dinami dami ng tumulong sa Yolanda mag credit sya na parang solely sya lang ang may nagawa. Pangit na campaign material. Parang ginawang props ang mga kababayan natin sa Tacloban. Sana naman wag naman magpakababa ng ganyan.
Mayor Duterte is right on saying that Mar is such a pretentious guy. Only fools can claim they are heroes on their own way.
To Bishops who openly againts our Mayor:
The most important part of the mass is the sending forth: Go and serve the LORD…… Our mayor want to serve as much as he serve us here in davao city….. More than the service of those in blanket of white robe
