ICYMI: Davao del Norte 1st District Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez said he chose to support Vice President Leni Robredo's presidential bid because he does not want to waste his fight against the Marcos dictatorship. VotePH
But according to Alvarez, there is a deeper and personal meaning as to why he picked Robredo for president: he does not want to waste his fight against the Marcos dictatorship that draws back to the 1980s.“Ito kasi, para sa akin, personal, bakit nakapag-pasya akong sumuporta kay Leni Robredo? Eto ‘yon: ang unang laban na sinalihan ko nung dekada 80, nasa Ateneo Law School ako no’n,” Alvarez said.
“Naalala ko pa din, sumasama kami sa mga martsa sa kalye para tuldukan ang rehimeng diktaduryang Marcos. Kasama ako ‘don. ‘Yon ang unang laban, Marcos vs Cory,” he added.
