No office, No Problem: VP Leni Robredo lauded by Jake Ejercito, Kris Aquino, Jim Paredes, other celebs for appearing on recent presidential public forums
On Friday, February 4, Vice President and presidential aspirant Leni Robredo’s efforts to still attend a presidential forum despite a conflict in schedule earned respect from celebrities.
During the presidential discussion held by Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), Robredo was on her way to visit the Odette-affected areas.
She had to borrow an office at the airport and struggled with an Internet connection.
Marry Me, Marry You star Jake Ejercito appreciated the VP’s commitment to attend the program.
Theater actor Reb Atadero also ridiculed Marcos for gracing the magazine show of Korina Sanchez rather than having a healthy discussion with other presidential bets.
Yung iba, discussing policies and economics. Yung isa, doing kitchenomics.
Former House Representative Walden Bello also roasted Marcos by pointing out that the latter would rather “cook” than be “cooked” by other presidential aspirants.
Meanwhile, film director Noel Escondo had to remind Robredo’s camp to ensure that the VP must have a stable Internet connection for her to be able to attend upcoming interviews.
Sa team ni mam Leni na kasama nya ngayon, responsibilidad nyo to make sure na stable ang internet ng lugar kung nasaan siya especially scheduled interview ito hindi naman biglaan. Be better! Wag nyo nang uulitin ito!

In the meantime, musician Jim Paredes assured the public that Robredo has the knowledge to back up what she says.
No one beats Leni sa knowlwedge based on experience. She KNOWS what she is talking about. The others can talk, yes, but Leni has walked the talk. #AngatLahatKayLeni#LeniForPresident2022
Even Kris Aquino was stunned by how straightforward Robredo is with her answers. She then insisted that the aspirant was on point to educate the voters regarding political dynasties, political party reform, and “turncoatism.”
Very straight forward and concrete answers from Vice President @lenirobredo on political dynasty, political party reform, turncoatism. Iyan ang kailangang maintindihan ng mga botante.
Apart from Robredo, senators Manny Pacquiao and Ping Lacson, Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, and labor leader Ka Leody de Guzman appeared in the forum moderated by Karen Davila and Rico Hizon.
