Robredo: I'm just a symbol, people are raring for change
Vice President Leni Robredo believes she has become a symbol of the Filipino people's desire for change rather than the sole reason for her presidential campaign's momentum.
Robredo expressed that the timing was right for a shift, suggesting that any other candidate could have been the figurehead for the widespread public sentiment.
She feels that Filipinos have been holding onto their emotions and are now ready for change after six years under President Rodrigo Duterte's administration.
Robredo is recognized as the leading opposition figure against Duterte's policies and is seen as having the best chance to defeat Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. in the upcoming elections, despite a significant gap in survey numbers.
