MANILA\u2014Presidential candidates Rodrigo \u201cRody\u201d Duterte and Manuel \u201cMar\u201d Roxas II threw slurs against each other again, over a month after they announced ceasefire from their \u2018word war\u2019.<\/p>\n

In a press conference on Sunday, Duterte called Roxas a \u201czombie\u201d while the Davao mayor recalled the Interior and Local Government Secretary\u2019s appearance after the Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was there day two. Si Mar parang zombie rin. Hindi malaman kung ano ang sasabihin. Nag-drama ka, nagbisikleta ka, natumba ka saka kumain ng kanin sa baso, <\/em>how stupid can you get? (I was there day two. Mar was like a zombie too. He doesn\u2019t know what to say. You created drama, you biked, you fell and ate rice in a cup, how stupid can you get?)\u201d Duterte said.<\/p>\n

Duterte also called Roxas \u201ccrazy\u201d for saying that he was \u201call work and no drama\u201d in his political ad that aired in national television.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s claiming that he\u2019s no drama, but if he is not crazy, he ate rice in a cup. How stupid can you get? A cup is for water, a plate is for eating rice,\u201d Duterte was quoted as saying in a Standard report.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he does not really engage in drama, he should not be in that commercial to begin with,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Roxas responded to Duterte by saying that the latter is only using him to be more prominent in the May 9 presidential poll.<\/p>\n

\u201cMayor Duterte is just fourth in the surveys,\u201d Roxas said in the same report.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said before that he didn\u2019t want to talk with the candidate in the fourth spot, but now he\u2019s in fourth place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In December last year, the two presidential candidates engaged in a \u2018word war\u2019 following Duterte\u2019s accusation of Roxas lying about being a Wharton graduate. Roxas responded to Duterte by asking the Mayor to engage in a slap-fight. Duterte suggested gun duel, instead. Days later, the two agreed on a ceasefire only to resume a more than a month later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
