Trillanes a ‘valued ally’; opposition will work with him --- Robredo spox
The Magdalo Group, led by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, warned they would withdraw support for Vice President Leni Robredo if she yields to Senator Panfilo Lacson's presidential bid.
Trillanes cited Lacson's alleged role in the "unjust imprisonment" of Senator Leila de Lima as a reason for his group's potential withdrawal of support.
Robredo's spokesperson, Barry Gutierrez, stated that it is too early to assume Robredo is giving way to Lacson, as she has not definitively announced her presidential candidacy.
Gutierrez reiterated that Robredo remains open to running for president and will make her decision known at the appropriate time.
Despite Trillanes' tirade, Gutierrez affirmed that the opposition remains open to working with him, emphasizing that Trillanes has always been a valued ally.
Gutierrez urged Trillanes to reach out to them directly with any concerns, as they share common principles and hold him in high regard.
