Trillanes Says Leni Robredo Is Opposition’s Best Bet In 2022 Polls

ROBREDO – Filipino politician Antonio Trillanes IV said Leni Robredo is opposition’s best bet for 2022 presidential elections.

In a previous article, Robredo said she’s “leaving everything open” and she’s ready to be president. The politician explained that since she became the vice president, she’s mandated to take over if anything happens to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Meanwhile, one of Rodrigo Duterte’s critic, former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said the opposition’s best bet for the 2022 election in Vice President Leni Robredo. His last term ended in June and he’s now a private citizen. Based on a report from ABS-CBN News, Trillanes said Robredo must run and ensure an opposition victory.

“We are not entertaining any Plan B… the opposition is organizing in relation to 2022. We feel it’s a must win, not just for the opposition, but for every Filipino,” said Trillanes.

According to the report, Trillanes complimented how Leni Robreno handled the 74-year-old president. He said she has clever ways of opposing Duterte and his policies.

“I saw her performance in [the] 2016 campaign. I ran against her, magaling ito (she’s good), she’s a woman of conviction,” he said.

However, the 48-year-old politician clarified that Leni has yet to decide if she’s running for the presidency.
