Robredo camp to study social media reports, allegations

Vice President and presidential candidate Leni Robredo said Tuesday that her camp was studying social media reports and allegations.

Robredo, who is trailing former Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. with 14 million votes against the latter's 30 million votes, issued the statement as she thanked those who supported her 2022 presidential bid that was largely anchored on volunteer efforts from various sectors rather than the backing of politicians.

"Alam kong pinoproseso pa ninyo ang mga pangyayari kahapon. Mulat ako sa mga tanong na nananatiling nakalimbitin sa sitwasyon. Sinisimulan na namin ang pagkausap sa mga eksperto upang maaral nang husto ang mga ulat at alegasyon na nababasa natin sa social media," Robredo said in a statement.

(I know you are still trying to process what happened yesterday, and I am aware that there are questions waiting to be answered. We are starting to talk  with experts about thoroughly studying reports and allegations that we read on social media.)

"Agad naming ibabahagi ang anumang resulta ng pag-aaral," she added.

(We will share our findings with you as soon as it is available.)

In addition, Robredo said that she will attend at least two gatherings with her supporters: a 5:30 p.m. Mass today at the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral and a May 13 event in Manila, the details of which will be announced later.

"Muli, nagpapasalamat ako sa sipag, pagkamalikhain, at pusong dinala ng ating hanay sa kampanya. Dahil sa inyo, nasilip natin ang uri ng lipunang kaya nating maabot," she added.

(Again, I thank you for your diligence, creativity, and the heart that carried us through the campaign. Because of you, we got a glimpse of a society that we could be.) — DVM, GMA News
