Robredo says she'd rather beat Marcos in May polls than for him to get disqualified
Vice President Leni Robredo expressed her preference to defeat Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in the upcoming May 2022 elections rather than see him disqualified from the presidential race.
Robredo stated that winning through the ballot would definitively end Marcos Jr.'s claims of electoral fraud from their 2016 vice presidential contest.
She recalled the electoral protest filed by Marcos Jr. after she narrowly won the vice presidency against him.
According to Robredo, Marcos Jr.'s camp has spent the subsequent five years disseminating propaganda to discredit her and assert claims of cheating.
