Leni Robredo's illegal vice presidency is an important reminder to Filipinos

By -

There was a commenter here on GRP who said Pinoys hate Leni Robredo more than they love Duterte.

This is a very important point that I think Duterte himself doesn’t understand.

The anger against Leni Robredo is not about Duterte. Rather, it is a burning, overflowing rage against a clueless but ambitious puppet who has become the biggest, most shameful symbol of fraud, hypocrisy, injustice, and impunity in the Philippines.

Robredo’s continued illegal occupancy of the office of the vice president reminds Filipinos every day that:

– It is okay to steal government funds and rig an election to install an incompetent non-entity into the second-highest government position in the land.

– It is okay for said non-entity to fraudulently peddle herself to the public as an accomplished “lawyer” and bureaucrat. (Robredo may have passed the bar after three tries, but when you listen to her talk, it’s obvious she didn’t actually practice her profession to a reasonable degree. The yellows branded her…

COMELEC spokesman @jabjimenez himself DRILLED Filipino voters to FULLY SHADE the ballot circles back in 2016!

No less than the COMELEC spokesman James Jimenez himself found that he could not emphasise enough that the ballot circles be fully shaded. He ran what was tantamount to a full information campaign to drill this into Filipino voters back in 2016 as is evident in this tweet...


It seems that then candidate for the vice presidency Leni Robredo did not get that memo.

Even more specific was an instruction also issued by Mr Jimenez not to undershade in this tweet going way back to 2013...


It is in this context that it is easy to see just how idiotic a case Robredo and her camp is pushing to the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET). Clearly, there is something not right about considering a 25% shaded ballot circle a valid vote...


What else could it be? There's just no getting around the idea that the camp of Leni Robredo want something that support possible fraudulent activity that results in a seemingly rushed manner with which ballots of interest to them were filled.

Leni Robredo misdeclared MERALCO stocks possibly worth 6 million pesos!

Leni Robredo admitted to Mike Enriquez during a radio interview on May 9 that she owned stocks at Meralco. She also admitted that such had a value of 95k pesos in 1995.

Robredo did not declare the value of these stocks, and while she declared owning stocks, the value of such is not listed in her SALN as an asset.

Now after doing some crowd-sourcing and math, here is what I found out.

I could not get the share prices of Meralco stocks in 1995. What I got thanks to Carlos A Jr Cortes is the value in 2000 which is 4 pesos per share.

Using this, and this is even conservative since the price in 1995 must have been lower than 4 pesos, then Robredo owned at least 23,750 shares of stocks (95k divided by 4).

The current share price of Meralco is 272 pesos per share. If we use this value, then Robredo has at least 6.46 milion pesos (at least 23,750 shares multiplied by 272 pesos per share) of assets which she failed to declare in her SALN.

Using the Corona precedent, this is an impeachable of…
