‘Unity’ should be based on justice and truth – Robredo

Presidential candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo said that calls for unity should be based on truth and justice as the country marks the 36th anniversary of the 1986 People Power Revolution.

“Noong 1986, nagkaisa ang taumbayan na wakasan ang pang aabuso ng diktadurya. Dito sa Iloilo, nung nakarating ang balita na napatalsik ang diktador, bumukas ang mga ilaw, tumunog ang kampana, nagpunta ang tao sa Jaro Cathedral, nagyakapan ang mga estranghero,” Robredo said in a speech at the Iloilo Sports Complex on Friday.

“Ang pagkakaisa ay dapat nakatuntong sa katotohanan at hustisya. Hindi lang kulay at apelyido ang dapat palitan. Kailangan wakasan ang luma at bulok na uri ng pulitika,” she said.

Robredo said that her government will seek to provide equal opportunity for all.

“Ang atin pong sistema ay walang palakasan, walang pami-pamilya,” she said.

“Lahat po ay mabibigyan ng lakas dahil bawat isa ay bahagi ng pambansang pamilya. Magtatagumpay tayo sa agendang ito dahil titiyakin natin na pagbibigkisin natin ang husay at sipag ng bawat Pilipino,” she added.

Robredo received a rockstar welcome in Iloilo where she also won in the 2016 elections.
