Im willing to lead opposition against Duterte admin - Robredo

She’s just bidding her time, and it seems its forthcoming.

Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo has made it public that she is very much willing to lead the opposition against President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and his administration.

Since the 2019 mid-term elections is barely a year away, the political landscape in the country is slowly changing again and as early as now it seems the opposition is fortifying its ranks that will meet head on the administration bets for the much sought after political positions- in the Senate, House of Representatives and for the Local Government Units.

In a press briefing the Vice President is presenting herself to unite all the different voices clamoring for change and opportunity to be heard by the current administration.

“Maraming mga grupo na pareho naman iyong paniniwala. Maraming mga grupo na pareho naman iyong mga issues na gustong salungatin. Pero dahil hindi nag-usap-usap, hindi napapag-isa iyong boses. At iyon iyong role na gusto kong i-take—na siguraduhin na iyong mga boses na nagkakaisa ay lalong mapag-isa para lalong mapakinggan, siguraduhin na iyong mensaheng gustong ipaabot mas maintindihan, at hikayatin iyong iba din iyong paniniwala na makiisa,” Robredo said.

“Maraming mga kababayan na nagsasabi sa akin na kailangan ng leader, at parati kong sinasabi na iyong sa atin, obligasyon nating lahat, ‘di ba—obligasyon nating lahat na ipaabot iyong saloobin natin,” she said.

“Obligasyon nating lahat na sumalungat kung kailangang sumalungat. Pero it is becoming apparent na mas malakas iyong loob ng iba na magboses kapag mayroong sinasandalan na grupo, mayroong sinasandalan na grupo na pareho iyong paniniwala sa kaniya. At iyon iyong role ko: na pag-isahin iyong mga boses na iyon,” the VP added.

She emphasized that there is a need to consolidate all the different voices to form one voice that will make sure the message will be heard loud and clear. This is the more reason that the political opposition should be united.

“Yong purpose lang naman pag-unite is to have one voice. Mahirap kasi kung lahat maingay. Mahirap kung ang daming nagsasalita nang sabay-sabay, lalong hindi naririnig. Pero kapag pinag-uusapan kung paano ipapaabot iyong mensahe, baka mas mabuti iyon. At iyon iyong value ng pag-u-unite ng iba’t ibang grupo,” Robredo said.
