A blogsite named ThinkingPinoy reveals the truth behind the controversy of Mar Roxas' educational background. This is in line with the issues about his "Wharton Degree".
Though this is not supposed to be a big deal, the site claims that the Senator had been fooling the Filipinos with the way that he had been presenting his degree in Wharton.
The truth is that he is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's degree in Economics. However, he does not have the right to claim that he is a graduate of Wharton. A person can only be called a graduate of Wharton if they have finished a Master's degree.

Based on the official website of the Presidential candidate, “BACKGROUND IN ECONOMICS: Mar graduated from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1974 and the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania in 1979“.

The site also pointed out that instead of understanding the weakness of the Filipinos to comprehend, he took advantage of it.

However, one netizen took the courage to stand up for Mar Roxas as she claims that Mar became the senator because of his clean records and vision for the country. She also claims that there is no need to make a fuss on his profile.
