“Ako po, may eleksyon o wala, bagyo man, kahit anumang sakuna, pandemya, kahit anong problema, nandito po ako. Kahit ano pong kuwento ang ipakalat sa akin, ang totoo, kumpleto po kami ng resibo,” Robredo said.
“Kaya po wag na nating hanapin ang ayaw namang humarap sa atin. Kahit anong oras, nandito po ako, hinaharap kayo, pinapakipaglaban kayo. True leaders show up and man up. Kaya po sa darating na Mayo, the best man for the job is a woman,” she added.
