“True leadership is stepping up and showing up… even if it means standing in heels for 3 hours,” the tweet said.
During the debate, Robredo and eight other presidentiables were asked on how important debates are.
“Iyong number one ingredient din ng leadership, aside from character, is you show up in the most difficult times. ‘Pag hindi ka mag-show up in the most difficult times, hindi ka leader,” Robredo said.

The vice president who’s always being criticized because she’s a woman said that she never backed down from any challenge.
Ni minsan, wala akong hamon na inatrasan. Handang-handa akong harapin ang hamon ng pagiging Pangulo. At ngayong 2022, the last man standing will still be a woman,” Robredo said during a previous presidential forum.
