MANILA – Presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo gained the endorsement of at least 47 former government officials who had served under former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo – the tactician credited with cementing the alliance between dictator’s son Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte in the 2022 elections.
The former Cabinet secretaries and government officials released their statement on Wednesday, February 23, saying they believed that with Robredo, “we stay safe, restore our economy and social fabric, and keep our Republic whole and secure.”
“Many are beset by fear, anxiety, and lethargy. We need a strong woman in the house to rekindle our energy and resolve. Leni Robredo represents the tough love of our mothers. She has the tenacious will to persuade. She drives our communities along the path of resilience,” they said.
