Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews: Transparency, Accountability, People Empowerment is the Leni Robredo presidency in a nutshell

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

While watching the Jessica Soho Interviews, one thing is clear: I made the right choice supporting Leni Robredo. My trust and confidence cemented! She is the most fit for the presidency. 

What are your concrete steps to address corruption in government? 

Robredo: Sa akin, transparency, accountability and people empowerment. Ang una kong gagawin ang full disclosure policy...na lahat ng government process, dapat i-make public para nadedeter ang overpricing and corruption.

Sobrang uplifting nung pinaka-core ng candidacy ni Leni. 

Transparency. Accountability. People Empowerment. 

She's the epitome of these. And these are what we can expect from a Robredo Presidency. No doubt, Leni Robredo is the leader we need and the president we deserve!

These three things alone can provide our country what it has been needing.

I hope her campaign team would visualize and contextualize them further thru ads and social media postings.

The answer to Filipino problems has always been the Filipino who is informed, empowered, and who knows that they can trust and rely on their government. VP Leni sees the presidency as a position to lead and to inspire the citizenry to be part of the solution and not as a Deus Ex Machina that will save us all. Ibang-iba talaga siya, ano?

She has proven this in her office. And she continues to do so when the pandemic hit the country.

When your candidate knows health economics and actuarial science, it's a win. 

When your candidate advocates for government transparency, accountability, and people empowerment, it's a win.

When your candidate has been consistent in her public service, it's a win.

Leni Robredo’s answers are on point and concise. It’s really that simple: to avoid corruption, there should be political will. 

Except for Ka Leody De Guzman, the rest are just trapos...Bias aside but among these presidential candidates, VP Leni is the only one who speaks with ease, humility and a lot of sense. 

With VP Leni, people are realizing that it's us people who truly have the power not the trapos and corrupt politicians. She's not just running because of the Marcoses, she is running to fight what the Marcoses and the like are condoning. 

Many traditional politicians won't support her kasi malaki mawawala pera sa kanila. Transparency sa government bidding na isapubliko, mahirap mangurakot  sa kaban ng bayan. Kaya taong bayan mismo ang tutulong pera siya manalo.

I hope everyone understood the  value & importance of VP Leni's advocacy for PEOPLE EMPOWERMENT, an empowered people will have the ability to hold any abusive and greedy public official, from the president down to barangay officials, ACCOUNTABLE. It's what we really need these days.

She said “no, for now” when asked about her stand re: divorce but the thing about Leni is she has always been willing to listen, always open for dialogues. After all, people empowerment is one of the pillars of her leadership branding.

For those people asking why VP Leni says no to divorce. She wants to fix the annulment system first, make it accessible to the poor and marginalized. 

She’s not pro-divorce now, but good thing about Leni is she listens and collaborative - and there’s nothing impossible to a leader who listens to people.

Leni's answer is clear, concise, and truthful. Hindi defensive, especially sa tanong na mahirap ang Bicol. She was able to convey her answer by acknowledging the problem and then presenting her solution. This is in contrast with Narcos denying na Ilocos is poor.

What will you do to protect the rights of OFWs?

Robredo: First, let's fix our economy so people who go abroad aren't forced to do this but because they want to. Let's enter bilateral contracts with countries where there are OFWs to protect them. Upskill our workers.

Leni's thoughts on OFWs:

- Should be by choice

- Bilateral agreements

- Retool them with skills for better job prospects

Understanding the context and having vision. This is what Angat Buhay Lahat is all about.

What steps will you take to make the country more resilient to extreme weather events?

Robredo: It's an opportunity to build back better. Let's invest. Evacuate people from danger zones. Then let's make sure that their housing is resilient, and schools are usable as evacuation centers.

What are your concrete steps to address challenges in education?

Robredo: As early as 2020 we told DepEd that we need to open schools in low-risk areas. Kelangan na magface-to-face classes kasi grabe na ang damage na nangyayari sa estudyante.

Kung inumpisahan na natin nung sinasabi nating magbukas na, marami sana tayong problema na puwedeng maiwasan.

VP Leni did not just do her homework, she gave us thesis in this interview! Yung may proof of concept agad, di lang puro empty promises. Handa na siya magpakain sa panelists sa sobrang advanced ng preparations. 

Leni Robredo is the only one who knows what PhilHealth really needs - someone with Actuarial Science background.

Actuarial Science is a relatively unknown field to many. It is a field of expertise that a Philhealth head should be proficient in.

It may be a small detail but it subtly indicates breadth of knowledge of VP Leni.

Can we all agree that being tough is never based on gender? Coz I'm a man and I never saw a woman any less. Leni is not a symbol for women, Leni is a symbol for inclusivity. No one's potential must be diminished EVER. 

Leni Robredo is Leni Robredo. Her answers are backed up with real experiences on the ground. Time and again, you cannot question her consistency and track record. 

No other candidate have inspired us to volunteer for this cause and brought out the best from each and everyone of us. We are all driven by the same passion to make a difference for a good and incorruptable governance.

Babangon muli? Nope, she really said sit down. I got this. She incontrovertibly slayed the Jessica Soho Interviews! Inclusive and collaborative. President ko ‘yan!

Transparency, accountability, and people empowerment. I hope this becomes a reality.

See, not just Ping but everyone's getting the hard questions too. Isko being a traditional politician, Manny's taxes, Leni's competency. Issues about the presidentiables that are very relevant. You address them nonetheless, you show up and stand your ground. Learn and attend, Bongbong!

Listening to Leni Robredo’s answers just makes me believe more than ever that if she loses, we, as a country, will lose way more. 

Wow, ang daming change of heart stories sa timeline ko pagkatapos ng Presidential Jessica Soho Interviews. Sobrang inspiring ang life changing yung interviews!

History will only repeat itself if we disregard the mistakes of the past. We do not erase nor revise the history, WE LEARN FROM IT!

Way to go, VP!

Well-researched questions. Straightforward. This is what journalists do. Not soft and stupid questions, kaya hanggang Toni Gonzaga lang si Bongbong Marcos eh!

Kudos to the Jessica and her team....of course, also to GMA.

Madali lang ang kamay na bakal strategy. Sigaw sigaw patay patay lang ‘yan eh. But to actually do the work, speak out even if it means going to the lion’s den, ‘yan ang tunay na matapang.

This inclusive and empowering feminine energy is what we need right now.

Before anything else let us CONGRATULATE all those who shifted from a BBM fanatic to becoming a Kakampink. Choosing Leni Robredo is the best thing you did this 2022. Goodluck on our 2022 adventure with our new President Leni.

This is why interviews and debates are important, ang goal naman nito ay (1) persuade the undecided voters & (2) conversion of votes.

We did both last night!
