Unsuccessful vice-presidential candidate Mar Roxas left Monday for Taiwan in a bid to mend the rift caused by the deportation of 14 Taiwanese nationals to China early this month.But Malacañang said Roxas was not sent by President Benigno S. Aquino III to Taiwan to apologize, but rather to explain the government's position on the deportation incident as well as request Taiwan to relax its rules on the entry of interested Filipino workers.
