Why Sec. Mar Roxas is in DOTC?

From the DOTC website:  
        Why the DOTC is the biggest among the executive departments?
               The Department covers road, rail, air, water and communications sectors. To carry out its mandate, the 
         Department has fifteen (15) attached agencies / corporations and three (3) line / sectoral offices.
         DOTC coverage

It actually involves Civil Aviation, Road Transport, Railways and Maritime Transport.  Basically, it includes the whole Philippine territory.  But why?  He's not even an engineer.  He actually finished Economics in University of Pennsylvania.

As we all know, it's payback time for Mar Roxas's sacrifice last 2010 elections, who eventually lost to VP Jejomar Binay.  With his vast power and influence in DOTC, he might win the voters sympathy in 2016.  In fairness, being a dedicated public servant, Mar Roxas can easily win back voters' confidence.
But in the next presidential race, the track is not for him alone.  We know how eager VP Binay to win the post.  Also emerging is Sen. Bong Revilla who wants to stay unblemished amidst his family's controversy.  Out of that controversy, another name is emerging: Ramon Magsaysay Jr.

In closing, everybody wants to have a better Philippines.  The finish line is still far and so many stalwarts are actually making trends.  It's up to the people to make their choice.
