'I beat him in 2016 without that': Robredo denies blocking Marcos Jr.'s candidacy
MANILA — Vice President Leni Robredo on Friday denied that opposition forces she leads had a hand in a bid to block rival Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s presidential run in the 2022 elections.
"It doesn’t make sense," Robredo said of insinuated ties between the opposition and the bid to cancel Marcos' candidacy. The dictatorial regime was marked by violence, human rights violations, repression of free speech and the plunder of state coffers, among others. The Philippine government has yet to fully recover the Marcos family's ill-gotten wealth.
