The Liberal Party invented and first used the term “Villaroyo” on Feb. 11, just days after the start of the national campaign.
In a press release released by the Liberal Party and the office of Sen. Mar Roxas, LP director-general Chito Gascon claimed that Ampatuans met with Nacionalista Party presidential candidate Manny Villar two days prior to the Maguindanao massacre, and that the latter even slept in the Ampatuan mansion.
On Feb. 15, it was Roxas himself who issued a press release using “Villaroyo”. The same day, Gascon came out with a separate press release repeating his allegations on Feb. 11.
The LP has since came out with more than a dozen other “Villaroyo” press releases.
haaaay naku! una si gma ang nili-link kay mr. villar ngayon naman mga ampatuan. for what? para isipin ng mga tao na masamang tao din si villar? pero heto ang maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw: nagkaroon ng hacienda massacre at hindi nabigyan ng hustisya ang mga namatay at nasaktan doon. so alin ngayon ang mas maliwanag at totoo, aber?
