Robredo-Trillanes communication lines breaking down?
Vice President Leni Robredo is willing to meet with former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to discuss preparations for the May 2022 polls.
Robredo's spokesperson, lawyer Barry Gutierrez, stated that the Vice President would welcome an opportunity to sit down with Trillanes.
Gutierrez commented that if Trillanes wanted to talk, he did not need to make statements on social media, implying that Trillanes' outbursts were unnecessary.
This comes after Trillanes alleged on Facebook that Robredo refused to meet him and the Magdalo group to discuss election preparations, citing the pandemic as her reason.
Trillanes expressed surprise that Robredo had met with Senators Panfilo Lacson and Richard Gordon, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, and Senator Vicente Sotto III, who are also considered potential presidential candidates.
He also mentioned that he and his group, Magdalo and Tindig Pilipinas, have been requesting a meeting with Robredo since January, but she has been unwilling to meet them.
