Campaign Shift: Leni Robredo Now Says She’s Running As The Environmental President!

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Philippines is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel in as far as the Covid pandemic is concerned, and admitting that foreign policy is not her forte, Vice President Leni Robredo is shifting her campaign message.

With just about two months before the May 9, 2022 elections, Robredo says she is now running as the ”Environmental President.,”

“The Filipino people can count on me to protect our environment and natural resources as we partner with environmentalists worldwide to address this critical and ever-growing issue.”

Robredo made the promise at a campaign rally in Cavite province attended by a throng of supporters clinching to pink balloons as campaign organizers showered her with pink confetti.

Environmentalists agree that balloons and confetti (paper) are bad for the environment as they deplete our natural resources and cause damage to the natural habitat of fish and other animals.

GENERAL TRIAS CITY, Cavite (The Adobo Chronicles, Cavite Bureau) – The city government of General Trias in Cavite province has levied a P10 Million fine on the Leni Robredo campaign to pay for the cleanup of last week’s rally.

The crowd which the campaign claims to have reached 47,000 left piles and piles of trash and pink confetti, not to mention blown-up pink balloons which many say were meant to project the appearance of a large attendance at the rally.

General Trias city hall officials decried the irresponsibility of the campaign and attendees in leaving litter and toxic materials after the rally ended.

The P10 Million includes environmental charges resulting from blown-up pieces of pink balloons used at the political event.

The officials say what transpired is in direct contrast to Robredo’s campaign promise to protect the environment and reduce pollution in urban cities and other areas in the country.
