Robredo said that the military has been maintaining the peaceful conduct of previous elections and using them in every step of the way is unnecessary.
“Ang militar kailangan natin yan e. ‘Di sila kailangan katakutan. Given naman ‘yun kapag elections talagang tumutulong sila to maintain peace and order,” Robredo said.

“Pero sana huwag nagagamit ang institutions para sa pananakot. Ang feeling ko lang noong nabasa ko ‘yung balita, ano ba naman ‘yan? Ganu’n na naman, every time gusto natin mag-enforce ng policy, gagamitin ang militar. Mali ‘yun,” she added. (TDT)
