Robredo says politicians must face public scrutiny

Vice President Leni Robredo stated that while she cannot interfere with other candidates' choices, politicians have a responsibility to face public scrutiny and answer difficult questions.

Robredo commented on presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s decision to skip the Jessica Soho presidential interviews.

Robredo believes that candidates should submit themselves to public scrutiny and address criticisms.

Marcos's camp claimed Soho was biased, while GMA Network argued that tough questions are necessary given the demands of the presidency.

The hashtag #MarcosDuwag trended on social media following his absence from the interview.
