Talent manager Ogie Diaz has lost all the respect he had for Cong. Loren Legarda.
In a series of revealing tweets, a certain Belen Castor Yngson said Legarda instructed Antique officials not to attend Vice President Leni Robredo’s rally in the province. Antique is known to be a part of the “pink” nation.
Voters in the province were dismayed by the lack of support from its leaders.
LoWren, the incumbent congresswoman instructed the Mayors from the 18 municipalities to not attend the event. Even the Municipal Mayor of the Capital town cancelled last minute his appearance at the airport to welcome the Vice President at the behest of the congresswoman.

Legarda’s just lost support, including that one from Diaz. The comedian admitted that he could no longer get behind the senatorial candidate after what she did.
Grabe nga si Loren Legarda. Biglang nawala respeto ko. At least, nagkaroon dati. https://t.co/68Yd25CAgV

Legarda used to have a great political reputation before flipping to the other side, and people still remember this. Now, she’s just one of the many who sold themselves out for the opposition.
According to sources, Loren Legarda, congresswoman of Antique, “instructed” all mayors of Antique NOT TO WELCOME VPLR during her visit. She even disallowed VPLR team to use the prov’l capitol. SPREAD THE NEWS: DON’T vote LOWREN LEGARDA for senator, a BBM puppet!

I'll tweet it again.

Not gonna vote for Loren Legarda. She is a native of Antique running under LBM’s Uniteamavility.
Remember the sacrifice of Evilio Javier, the young Antique governor killed during the Marcos regime for fighting to regain the liberties of his people from tyranny.

Legarda also abstained when it came to voting for ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal.

Meanwhile, President Rodrigo Duterte backs Legarda’s senatorial run. “I give my endorsement and full support to former Senator Loren Legarda as she runs for senator in the 2022 National Elections. Even before she entered politics, former Senator Legarda has shown great involvement in public service,” Duterte said in a video clip
“When she became senator, she was able to help many more Filipinos through her advocacies. Now that she’s running for senator again, I hope you will consider her in your list. I believe Loren deserves to be back in the senate.” he added.
She thanked Duterte for his support.
“Daghang salamat President Rodrigo Roa Duterte sa inyong tiwala at pagpapahalaga sa aking serbisyo publiko. I wish you continued good health and success,”
Legarda is big on environmental protection and climate change adaption; employment and livelihood creation; health; education, among many others.
She is one of the favorites to win a senatorial seat in the upcoming national elections.
