Vice President Leni Robredo is unfazed by the opposition’s offensive insults constantly hurled at her.
During her convention in Roxas City, Capiz, Robredo laughed when bringing up the common criticisms she faced on Tuesday.
“Lahat ng pangungutya sinabi na sa akin – bobo, lutang, tanga, ano pa?” a giggling Robredo said.

Robredo said despite all the negativity; she focuses on doing her duties.
“Sa limitadong mandato na binigay saakin, pinaghusayahan ko ang aking trabaho,” she added.
She noted that her Angat Buhay Program had tremendously helped the needy. At the end of the day, Robredo is more concerned about being a public servant than responding to her critics.
“Ang daming pangangailangan, ‘yun pa ba pagsabi sakin na bobo at tanga ang bibigyan ko ng oras?
“Pag humaharap ako sa matinding pangangailangan, yung mga masasamang sinasabi saakin hindi na importante,” she furthered.
Robredo’s reputation has been stained mainly because of social media. Trolls use multiple platforms to spread misinformation about her. They also convinced many Filipinos that she was stupid with the use of spliced videos.
But her achievements say otherwise. Robredo finished with a degree in economics and eventually became an attorney.
Over 500 priests recently showed their support for the Naga native.
Catholic group ‘Pari Madre Misyonero Para Kay Leni’ has decided that the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem is what’s best for the country.
“All things considered, among the candidates who have laid out their political platforms and applied for the highest and the second-highest posts of the land, we adjudge that it is Vice President Maria Leonor ‘Leni’ G. Robredo and Senator Francis ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan who best fit the job to be the next president and vice president of the Philippines,” it said in a statement.
