‘It reveals a lot about who they are’: Robredo spox says Marcos camp on full attack mode despite claims of ‘positive campaigning’
Vice President Leni Robredo stated that the Marcos camp's intensified attacks against her through fake news were expected, given her improved survey ratings.
Robredo noted that this tactic is similar to what she experienced in the 2016 vice presidential race when her popularity began to rise.
This came after Marcos' lawyer Vic Rodriguez accused Robredo of "politics of deception" and "gutter politics."
Robredo's spokesman, Barry Gutierrez, stated that despite claims of "positive campaigning," the Marcos camp is in "full attack mode."
Gutierrez added that it reveals "who they are" that they are attacking Robredo's family just 24 hours after a crime was committed against them.
Robredo expressed that while her lawyers may pursue legal actions, she and her children refuse to be discouraged by fabricated stories.
She highlighted that her children have also become targets of these attacks, including a fabricated lewd video allegedly involving her eldest daughter, Aika.
