5. Malapit sya sa tao – lalo na sa mga kababaihan at mahihirap.

Hindi ba’t nakilala natin sya sa kanyang campaign brand na “laylayan ng lipunan”?

Well, she’s true to her campaign brand helping the poor and the marginalized.

And what did she do? Inilunsad niya ang “Angat Buhay” noong 2016 para makatulong sa mga mahihirap at mabawasan ang kahirapan.  

Magkatulong ang gobyerno at private sector upang tumugon sa pangangailangan ng mga mahihirap.

She has been reaching to rural communities extending help to farmers, fisherfolks, and far-flung communities.

Aren’t these enough reasons why you should vote for Leni Robredo?

6. The flash! ang kanyang disaster response.

Sa mga kalamidad na dumaan sa bansa bukod sa pandemya, “Angat Buhay” was able to raise 441.14 million pesos worth of donations sa tulong ng 330 organizations and partners.

Dahil dito, nakatulong si VP Leni at ang “Angat Buhay” sa 341,779 pamilya, 221, 122 katao, at 381 na komunidad sa buong bansa.

Kamakailan lamang, nung bumagyo at tinamaan ang northern part of Luzon, instantly, coordinated na sa LGU ang kanilang tulong.

That’s what’s meant by the flash.

7. She’s known for having a simple lifestyle.

Alam ng lahat na common na sa Pinas ang isang politician na may lavish lifestyle – houses, cars, and other properties contrary to what the constitution requires them to be – live a frugal life.

At isa si Leni Robredo sa mga iilang politikong may simpleng lifestyle.

Fact – isa sya sa pinakamahirap na miyembro ng House of Representatives when she was still in the Congress, with relatively low net worth based on her SALN!

Naging viral din ang ilang photos nya waiting for a bus ride going back home to Naga and a lot of people can attest to that. Remember her interview with Karen Davilla?

Frugality is a manifestation of one’s discipline and contentment. Kung ikaw ay hindi nate-tempt na kumuha ng hindi sayo at namumuhay ng ayon sa iyong kakayahan, para ka ding si Leni Robredo.

Pareho kayo ng katangian and this can be your basis why you should vote for Leni Robredo.

8. She’s not attached to power and position!

Alam mo yun, you’re clear with the notion that power and position have their limitations.

You don’t use your power to take advantage of the situation o kaya naman, ayaw mo na umalis so position kasi it offers you a certain degree of convenience and feeling of entitlement.

Pero si Leni Robredo, hindi.

Quite the contrary, she uses her power and position to take a stand on several issues. Alam naman natin ang stand nya sa Freedom of Information kaya naman she religiously submits her SALN.

Malakas din ang paninindigan nya sa anti-political patronage at anti-political dynasty at ang kanyang stand as pro drug rehabilitation of drug victims at pro same sex unions.

9. She’s a mother who knows how to lead a chaotic country.  

Sabi nga ni Mareng Winnie Monsod, her leadership approach is “nurturing, moral, and reconciliatory.” Simple lang naman, kelangan ng bansa ng isang lider na may puso, may paninindigan, at may integridad.

Subalit, lamang si Leni Robredo sa karanasang hindi nasubukang gawin ng ibang presidentiables – lumapit sa mahirap, kausapin ang mahirap, tanungin sila tungkol sa problema, at nakikipagtulungan sa kanila upang masolusyunan ang problemang kinakaharap nila.

In short, she’s grounded, connected, educated, knowledgeable, and experienced.

Are you convinced now on why you should vote for Leni Robredo as the next President in 2022?

These aren’t make-belief stories about a person known as Leni Robredo.

She’s not a legend, but you know what makes her legendary? 

She’s a woman. A phenomenal woman!
