Maria Leonor Robredo, proclaims she has
no ambitious of being president of the country.
Rightly so, this comment was not said
as a means of sacrificing for the
greater good of all Filipinos, she is declaring that precisely because deep in
her gut she knows the presidency will always just be a dream of hers.
She has been very much ding whatever
the yellow cult has dictated to her, despite being the second highest elected
official in the land – she opted to make use of that position to attack the
President instead of making it a purpose of her helping more Filipinos who are
in need of help.

Hard-hitting veteran journalist Ninez
Cacho-Olivarez in her Nov. 12, 2108 published article in Daily Tribune titled “
A disservice to the country” she laid down what is and most probably will be of
Leni Robredo in her political career.
It
is hardly the country and its people that are being served by Leni when she
criticizes the Duterte government whenever she goes abroad on speaking
engagements. What she is serving, if this can even be called serving — when this
is such a disservice she does to the country — is the political interest of the
yellows, not the majority of the Filipino people.
Leni
was given a position in the Cabinet of President Duterte, a position that could
have been of great help to the Filipino people. Instead, perhaps listening to
the yellow mob, she started to criticize the administration of which she was a
member.
For purposes of public knowledge, truthfulness
and clarity we are quaoting in full the said published article of
Ms.Cacho-Olivarez.
Vice President Leni Robredo says she did
not seek the presidency and has no ambition to run for president in 2022.
“I have no ambition that after 2022 I
would run for president. There is no such thing. For me, it’s all destiny. For
me, if it’s set for you, it would happen. You should not hold ambitions for it.
And for me, I did not even hold ambitions of becoming vice president.”
Such statements from Leni are expected,
mainly because she, as well as her yellows, are today leaderless despite having
one of their own as the second highest official. They probably realized that
Leni does not have what it takes not only to lead but that she also lacks the
charisma to attract the masses who compose the bulk of the electorate.
Had there been no Smartmatic magic
helping Leni along, she wouldn’t have been proclaimed vice president. However,
things being what they are, she is at this time the vice president and she
should have worked at her role by working for and serving the people to gain
their trust and confidence.
Leni claimed to have a “greater
purpose” in her life to her becoming an elected official, despite the absence
of ambition, to become president or even vice president.
She said this belief is her means of
coping with what she termed as the presence of “so much hate and so much
vilification” she has received since becoming vice president in 2016.
She said she was not keen on running
for public office after the death of her husband, Jesse Robredo, who served as
the yellow president’s Interior secretary. She stressed that she decided to go
along with the idea to run for the vice presidency after being told this would
ensure the continuity of her husband’s advocacies and legacy.
If it is possible to go back to those
days when she was not in politics, she would have stayed with the alternative
lawyers’ group Saligan (Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligal) where she
worked for more than 10 years helping communities on legal matters, she added.
She was also quoted as saying that
“many people think you are a bad person because of what they read. Is that
something that I would allow myself to be weighed down with? No, since I did not
enter this because of ambition. I came here for a specific purpose,” which she
claimed is the purpose of serving the public.
“There is a greater purpose to all
this. Many may be angry with you, many may speak against you, but you can use
your position to help,” she added.
Oh, c’mon, Leni. If such were your
purpose, you could have done so even as congresswoman and your constituents in
your districts would have benefited a lot more. So, what, by way of serving
your constituents in your district and even the entire province, did you do as
a member of Congress coming up with a law that would have benefited the entire
province?
Your yellow president was in power and
position and could have helped you greatly by getting him to get the bill
approved, assuming of course that you came up with bills enacted into law.
What have you done by way of coming up
with bills that were worked on, to serve your constituents, including using
your pork barrel fund for projects in your district? You have hardly ever
spoken about this then and, even now, as the VP of the country.
But having been proclaimed vice
president of the country, granting that you do have this claimed purpose of
being in a position to help serve the country, one may well ask Leni: Is it
serving the country, now that you are the second highest official in the land,
to speak negatively about the country and government and even stating things
that are not factually correct before the groups abroad, even one in the United
Nations?
It is hardly the country and its people
that are being served by Leni when she criticizes the Duterte government
whenever she goes abroad on speaking engagements. What she is serving, if this
can even be called serving — when this is such a disservice she does to the
country — is the political interest of the yellows, not the majority of the
Filipino people.
Leni was given a position in the
Cabinet of President Duterte, a position that could have been of great help to
the Filipino people. Instead, perhaps listening to the yellow mob, she started
to criticize the administration of which she was a member.
She got what she should have expected:
being left out of the loop and with no chance of her ever being elected
president in 2022 or ever which is probably why she says she has no ambition.
She knows the only way she can be
president of the Republic is by succeeding Duterte through death or through his
ouster with the combined groups of the yellows, Reds and Whites.
