VICE President Maria Leonor "Leni" Robredo on Thursday, October 7, 2021, finally ended speculations about her plans for the May 2022 elections and announced that she will run for president.
Robredo's announcement was made a day before the deadline for the filing of certificates of candidacy on October 8. “Nitong mga nakaraang linggo, nakipagpulong tayo sa iba't ibang mga personalidad...Ang tugon ko, hindi ito tungkol sa posisyon; hindi tayo nakikipag-usap para makipagtransaksyon. Ang pinakamahalaga, magkaisa kami—sa prinsipyo, sa pangarap para sa bansa, at sa landas na dapat tahakin tungo sa katuparan ng mga ito,” she said.
She said the lack of good governance and concern of the people in the grassroots, corruption and incompetence should end as this is the “root” of the country’s problem. “Panata ko ngayon: Ibubuhos ko nang buong-buo ang aking lakas, hindi lang hanggang sa halalan kundi hanggang sa mga natitirang araw ko, para ipaglaban ang Pilipinas ng ating mga pangarap: Isang lipunan kung saan kapag nagbanat ka ng buto, kapag ginawa mo ang lahat ng kaya mo, makaasa ka sa ginhawa at pag-asenso; kung saan kapag may nadapa, may sasalo sa iyo, may aakay sa iyo patayo,” she said.
