According to the former interior secretary, the current administration has shelled out twice as much money on improving Mindanao than the previous governments of former presidents Erap Estrada and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo combined. “In fact Mindanao today has twice the amount of infrastructure in the last five years than it had in the last 12 years, P260 billion ang dumating sa Mindanao itong nakaraang limang taon kumpara sa P125 billion noong labingdalawang taon ni Gloria at ni Erap,” he said. [P260 billion went to Mindanao in the last five years compared to the P125 billion in the last 12 years under Gloria and Erap.] Roxas added that much work still needs to be done to improve Mindanao; hence, the more reason why ‘Daang Matuwid’ needs to be continued. However, Duterte zinged Roxas and blasted ‘Daang Matuwid’ as useless. “Wala akong nakitang tuwid na daan, puro kulubot lang ‘yan,” he said. [I did not see any straight path, only crooked.] Elaborating, the mayor said much of the funds still went to Manila and whatever was left for Mindanao went straight to the private accounts of corrupt officials. “You know, I said this year the budget was given to Manila, the largest portion it received was 64 percent. Ang binigay sa Region 11, P19 million (only). How can you expect Mindanao to develop? You do not count the funds during the last five years. Naubos sa corruption [It went to corruption],” he said.
