“‘Pag nakabalik sila sa posisyon gano’n din ‘yong aasahan natin. So ang tanong ko, gusto ba natin ‘yon? Kasi klaro naman ‘yong lines ngayon eh, ano ba ‘yong nire-represent namin? Para sa akin itong eleksyon na ito, hindi na lang tungkol ito sa who is the better candidate pero what do we represent, anong klaseng pamamahala, anong klaseng pulitika,” she added.
The Vice President said the 2022 presidential election is also crucial because it would determine the country’s direction and situation in the next six years. “Ito ‘yong magdedetermine ng next six years para sa ating bansa. So iyon ‘yong paniniwala ko na ‘pag bumoboto tayo sa isang tao, hindi lang ‘yon kung sa akin o kay Marcos, pero kung anong klase ng pulitika saka pamamahala na inooffer nila sa taumbayan,” she noted.
In September 2021, before the filing of certificates of candidacy, Robredo said that part of the reason why she was undecided about running is that she was thinking if that move would foil a possible return of the Marcoses or a leadership style similar to President Rodrigo Duterte. Back then, Duterte’s daughter and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio has not yet finalized her next political move and was rumored to also run for the president like Marcos Jr.Marcos Jr.’s father, late former president Ferdinand Marcos, ruled the country for over two decadesa presidency that was marred by serious issues like human rights abuses, a crackdown on political opponents, massive plunder, and cronyism or the practice of providing allies with major industries in the country.
