VP Leni Robredo (Mark Balmores/Manila Bulletin)
“There is absolutely no truth to the claim” of Trillanes, Robredo’s spokesman Barry Gutierrez said on Wednesday, May 12, stressing that the vice president is focused on her office’s coronavirus disease (COVID-19) response.
“As VP Leni has repeatedly stated, her focus remains on helping our fellow Filipinos through the COVID-19 crisis. She has not made a decision regarding the 2022 elections, and there is absolutely no truth to the claim that she is making ‘preparations’ to run for governor of Camarines Sur,” he said.
“This is not a time for politicking, but for working for the people’s welfare,” Gutierrez added.

Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio is willing to have a debate with anyone as long as it’s about the West Philippine Sea.
Carpio only regrets that President Rodrigo Duterte withdrew from his own challenge.
“I was looking forward to a debate with him because this is the best opportunity to explain to the public, everyone will be glued on TV to watch it. It’s the best way to explain the issue to the public, I’m sad he withdrew but that’s his privilege,” said the former magistrate.
But Carpio is ready to face any cabinet member, even Presidential spokesman Harry Roque.
