Vice President and Presidential aspirant Leni Robredo said on Friday, Nov. 5, that the opposition is not behind the disqualification petitions pursued against opponent Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.“It doesn’t make sense,” Robredo said during a press briefing in Negros Occidental when sought for reaction on claims pointing to opposition over the petition for Marcos’ disqualification and cancellation of certificate of candidacy.
“Saka kung ang purpose ng disqualification para maalis siya sa contest na ‘to, hindi naman kailangan. Naglaban na kami noong 2016, nanalo naman kami na walang ganyan ,” the Vice President added. Robredo visited Negros Occidental for the signing of a memorandum enhancing her office’s partnership with Teresita Lopez Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City. She was welcomed by her supporters through a stationary caravan from the airport. She later met with sectoral representatives of various people’s organizations, political parties, and support groups.
