Robredo unfazed by outcome of disqualification cases vs Marcos
Vice President Leni Robredo remains unfazed by any Commission on Elections (Comelec) decisions regarding petitions against her rival, Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., stating it will not affect her presidential campaign.
Robredo emphasized that her campaign's direction is independent of the actions and decisions concerning other candidates.
Her statement came just before news broke that the Comelec's 2nd Division had dismissed a petition seeking to cancel Marcos Jr.'s certificate of candidacy.
This decision is seen as a favorable development for Marcos Jr., who is currently the frontrunner in pre-election polls and faces multiple challenges to his presidential bid.
