I didn&#x27;t even have a TV advertisement during the presidential debates,&quot; he said.&quot;During the intermission, there were advertisements. Roxas was managing traffic. Oy Roxas, if that is the only thing that you are capable of doing, you should have worked as a traffic aide instead.&quot;Duterte was referring to a 2009 video of Roxas attempting to manage vehicular traffic in the rain during the State of the Nation Address of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.Roxas banners the Liberal Party and opposition group Otso Diretso.He has yet to react to Duterte&#x27;s latest rant against him.In 2015, Roxas said traffic jams are caused by prosperity, money, and economic activity.&quot;This is a problem in a sense that arises from prosperity.
