Leni Robredo Explains Why She Broke Her Promise Not To Run Again

Why did Leni Robredo decide to run again?

Vice President Leni Robredo explained her reason why she broke her promise not to run again which she said last 2016.

From a local position, Robredo won the vice presidential race six years ago. Based on the report from Inquirer, during the CNN Philippines presidential debate on February 27, a video was shown in which Robredo along with presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos said that they will not run anymore.

The Vice President was asked to react to this and the same question was supposed to be asked to Marcos if he attended the debate. “When I was here in 2016, I really had no intention of running. In fact, that was my promise to my kids  —  that 2016 would be the last elections for our family,” Robredo said.

On the other hand, that promise of the Vice President was not fulfilled and she explained her reason. “But from 2016 until 2021, we saw how the beliefs, the mindsets of so many Filipinos were hit by fake news, by disinformation,” VP Leni Robredo said.

Reportedly, last year, the Vice President said that her reason for running was to prevent the return of Marcoses to Malacañang. She also cited that “disinformation-propaganda became dominant.” For her, she needs to stand against the way the politics in the Philippines is leading.

Robredo stressed that there is a threat that the kind of politics full of corruption is about to happen again and she needs to stop this. “This was the kind of politics that really brought all of us a lot of suffering,” the Vice President said.

To recall, reports stated that VP Leni Robredo tried to unite the opposition before the filing of the certificate of candidacy. However, she failed to do so and this prompted her to step up and filed her COC for president.
