Vice President Leni Robredo confidently claimed that Ilonggos do not cheat in elections.
“Nadamay po kayo, nag-file sa akin ng protesta ‘yong kalaban ko sa eleksyon. Ang sabi niya, nandaya daw po ako nang grabe dito sa Iloilo. Binuksan naman ‘yong mga balota — walang nakitang pandaraya dahil hindi naman nandadaya ang mga tao dito sa Iloilo,” Robredo said during the recent launch of the Ahon Laylayan Koalisyon in Iloilo City.
“Binuksan naman ‘yong mga balota — walang nakitang pandaraya dahil hindi naman nandadaya ang mga tao dito sa Iloilo,” she added.
Robredo reportedly won by a landslide in Iloilo province, where she received 573,829 votes, compared to 94,411 votes for former Senator Bongbong Marcos.
Iloilo was one of the three pilot provinces named by Marcos in his election protest.
Robredo was in Iloilo City for the launch of the Ahon Laylayan Koalisyon, an initiative that seeks to boost the influence of basic sectors in local governance, and help them push for their own People’s Council —a mechanism that promotes people participation in governance, as started by Robredo’s late husband, Jesse, when he was mayor of Naga City.
The Vice President also took the opportunity to ask Ilonggos to support the senatorial candidates under Otso Diretso.
Magdalo’s Rep. Gary Alejano, former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao assemblywoman Samira Gutoc, former solicitor general Pilo Hilbay, and former congressman Erin Tañada, were present in the said event.
