For as long as IATF regulations allow it

Anyone who gets to talk to presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo in person always ends up “supporting her, believing in her” because they see and feel her genuineness.

“That’s really been her strength even in previous elections. In fact, one point of pride for everybody in the campaign is that, put a group of people in the same room as Leni Robredo and they will come away supporting her, believing in her,” lawyer Barry Gutierrez said in an interview with Karen Davila on ANC’s Headstart on Friday, February 11.

“We have that much trust and faith in her capacity to actually come across as a really genuine person who you would want to actually support as a candidate and, you know, as someone who should be president.”

Robredo has been campaigning around the country since her official sendoff in her hometown of Naga on Tuesday, February 8. The Vice President hopscotched across her regional bailiwick of Bicol for two days, before heading to Batangas on February 10, and Laguna on February 11.

Gutierrez said that unlike other candidates, Robredo will continue traveling around the country and meeting voters in person, for as long as COVID protocols and IATF regulations allow it.

“Unlike probably other camps, which seem determined to keep their candidate out of the limelight as much as possible, and to rely only on all these curated materials on social media and traditional media, we believe that the more people actually interact with the Vice President, the more people will actually come out to support her. And that’s something we have seen happen in the last three months,” Gutierrez said.
