“Vice President Leni Robredo is the most deserving to be the next president of the

Philippines.”
As the filing deadline for candidacies for the 2022 elections approaches, all eyes are on
Leni Robredo, the Philippines' vice president and opposition leader. She has been deliberating
whether to run for president in 2022 for months. Robredo's supporters argue that she is the best
person to lead the country during a pandemic, citing the Vice President's Office's quick and
efficient programs that she runs despite a meager annual budget. In her five years in office, the
vice president remained true to her campaign promise of governing from the grassroots. Her
flagship program, Angat Buhay, is a poverty alleviation initiative that funded projects for
empowering housewives, fisherfolks, farmers, market vendors, and many more. She opened four
Angat Buhay villages in Marawi, Albay, Lupi and Sagnay, Camarines Sur for siege and typhoon
victims who lost their homes. Since the pandemic last March, Robredo had to retrofit her
programs for her office’s COVID-19 response programs. She delivered personal protective
equipment (PPE) to health care workers and tapped women to make local PPEs. She also
provided shuttle services, dormitories, and hot meals for the medical frontliners. Robredo
initiated programs such as the Community Mart, Swab Cab, Bayanihan E-konsulta, and Vaccine
Express, among others.
