Here’s the reaction of Vice President Leni Robredo to the “elitist” allegation thrown against her
LENI ROBREDO – The incumbent vice president-turned-presidential aspirant slammed the “elitist” tag thrown against her during a campaign rally in Nueva Ecija.
Robredo is running for president together with her running mate Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.
They will go against the tandem of; former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and Doc Willie Ong, Senator Manny Pacquiao and Buhay partylist representative, Lito Atienza as well as Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III.
Among the celebrities supporting the candidacy of Robredo are Gary Valenciano, Sharon Cuneta, Angel Locsin, Regine Velasquez, Kim Chiu and to name a few.
Recently, Robredo and her team went to Gapan City, Nueva Ecija for another leg of their campaign rally.
During her speech, she slammed a “fake news” her critics are claiming that she favors the elite or in other words, she’s an “elitist.”
“Pag-aralan niyo po ‘yung mga proyekto namin, kahit pa po fine-fake news tayo… Tingnan ‘yung aming pagbuhay, napakasimple ng ating pagbuhay. Tingnan ‘yung ating mga proyekto, lahat ng proyekto natin para sa mga mahihirap. Kaya walang basehan ‘yung pagsabi ng mga elitista,” Robredo said.
Apparently, Robredo did not mention who accused her of being elitist but previously, Isko Moreno called her camp and supporters “matapobre.” The latter is accusing them of thinking highly of themselves and belittling the poor.
Meanwhile, at the end of the said campaign rally, priests and ordinary workers raised the hands of Robredo and Pangilinan.
