Labor leader and presidential aspirant Ka Leody de Guzman says the votes for the opposition will not be divided between him and Vice President Leni Robredo. Full story:
Labor leader and presidential aspirant Ka Leody de Guzman on Monday, October 18, sought to explain his alleged misogynistic remarks against female leaders.‘Yung sinasabi ko... si Cory, napuna ko si Cory, napuna ko si Gloria.
On Facebook on Saturday, October 16, de Guzman addressed someone who said that by choosing to run for president, he was going to divide the votes for the opposition. De Guzman dismissed this claim by saying that, unlike presidential bet Vice President Leni Robredo, he was courting voters beyond those who are merely anti-administration or anti-Marcos.
Then he cited two former female presidents – the late Corazon Aquino and ex-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo – and their failure to address the problems of the poor.Ayaw ko nang maulit ang masamang karanasan ng pagsuporta ng taong bayan kay Cory laban kay Marcos at kay Gloria laban naman kay Erap. Walang napala ang taong bayan, nagpatuloy lang ang kahirapan at kaapihan ng mamamayaThis did not sit well with netizens who felt that de Guzman was putting down women.
De Guzman later apologized in a Twitter thread, saying he was commenting on Aquino's and Arroyo's leadership based on what he considered were their poor performance in addressing the problems country's fundamental problems – not because of their gender.Yun bang statement na ‘yon ay ako’y anti-women na? Eh bakit hindi nila basahin ang history? At ang dalawang ‘yan, hindi pa natatapos ‘yung termino ni Cory, patalsikin na ang panawagan ng taumbayan.
Arroyo, on the other hand, replaced then-president Joseph Estrada, who was forced to resign following a civilian-backed military revolt that was triggered by corruption allegations against him and his family. She also brought down coup attempts following allegations she cheated her way to victory in the 2004 polls.In the same forum, de Guzman added that the votes for the opposition will not be divided between him and Robredo, because a different set of voters will choose him in May 2022.
