Vice President Leni Robredo vows to fix the country’s internet problem should she win the presidency in the 2022 elections.
Robredo experienced internet difficulties when she joined the presidential forum organized by the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas last February 4.
She also experienced signal problems when she co-hosted her radio show over the weekend.
“Pasensya na Ka Ely matagal na problema makaka-relate ang ating kababayan, ito talaga ang nirereklamo namin for a very long time. Isa ito sa tututukan natin, itong internet connection kailangan maayos sa buong Pilipinas kasi maraming nakasalalay sa technology, lalo na sa probinsya talagang problema,” Robredo said.

Robredo and other presidential candidates are expected to launch their campaign on February 8.
Robredo said that she is appealing to the Commission on Elections to allow her initiatives to continue amid the campaign period.
“Nagkaroon kami ng hearing last week. Kahit bumaba na ang kaso, nakita natin kung ano ang number ng humihingi ng tulong everyday. Kung mahinto ito, ‘yung iba walang mapupuntahan,” Robredo said.
Robredo adds that she will not use the programs during her election campaign.

“Nag-pledge tayo eh, ‘di ko pupuntahan walang pangalan na makikita. In fact… nagre-redesign kami ng logo para hindi ma-identify sa akin,” she said.
Robredo said that she is ready whatever the decision of the poll body will be.
“Wala tayong magagawa.. pero nagho-hope tayo… kasi ang daming pasyenteng natutulungan… sa probinsya mayroon pang matataas na kaso”.
