Robredo still open to unification, but she did not send ‘feelers’ for Lacson to withdraw—spox
The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo denied sending official emissaries to other presidential candidates, particularly in response to Senator Panfilo Lacson's claim of an unification attempt.
Robredo's spokesperson, Ibarra Gutierrez, stated that while the campaign hasn't sent official representatives, the Vice President remains open to conversations about unification from various groups and individuals.
Senator Lacson had earlier claimed that a "mediator" allegedly from Robredo's camp approached him about withdrawing from the presidential race to support a single candidate against survey frontrunner Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Lacson alluded that the discussion clearly pointed towards Robredo's camp without explicitly naming the mediator.
