VP Robredo backs same-sex unions, rejects abortion decriminalization

Vice President Leni Robredo supports same-sex unions, emphasizing freedom of choice as long as it does not harm others.

She rejects the decriminalization of abortion, proposing instead to strengthen local health services.

Robredo also proposed alternatives to divorce, deeming them more practical and accessible options.

Her stance on same-sex unions was shared during an online interview on Friday, September 3.

Currently, two bills about civil unions are pending at the House of Representatives, which if passed, would grant same-sex and heterosexual couples the same benefits as marriage.

Robredo is considering a presidential bid in the 2022 elections.
