SunStar March 16, 2021 PDP-Laban’s move to get President Duterte to run for Vice President in the 2022 elections tells me that self-interest, not the country’s welfare, still dominates our political dynamics. Self-interest is blinding politicians to the lesson we should learn from our negative experience with Vice President Leni Robredo. VP Robredo, for belonging to the opposition, refused to honor her mandate from voters to serve as Vice President. Instead, she served as her party’s prime campaigner for the coming elections. She accomplished this by stinking up the incumbent party in an obvious effort to let her party come out smelling roses.
