VP Leni Robredo speaking at the Rotary Club of Manila's membership meeting, where she gives a glimpse of what people can expect from her presidency: Stronger pandemic response, strengthening PH institutions, ensuring judicious use of funds, anticorruption measures. | @krixiasINQ

@krixiasINQ Robredo: The focus will be really controlling the disease, it will be a whole of gov't approach. It’s like 1986, there are a lot of institutions that need to be fixed. A lot of focus will be on that, on governance, on fixing the kind of politics that we have. | @krixiasINQ

@krixiasINQ Robredo: There is no need for martial law because we have enough resources to get through this (pandemic) if only govt was more efficient. We don’t need extraordinary powers to get through this crisis, we just need good and effective governance. | @krixiasINQ

@krixiasINQ Robredo: For China, we will collaborate with them in areas that we have no conflict, like trade and investment. But when it comes to the WPS we cannot deal with them without their recognition of the arbitral ruling. | @krixiasINQ

@krixiasINQ Robredo says she was not doing well in Class C and D1. "Ang sabi samin yun ung middle class that are on social media... The interpretation is that the propaganda against me over the past five years have been very successful." | @krixiasINQ

@krixiasINQ What does Robredo plan to do on her first 100 days? Controlling the pandemic. Decrease the cases dramatically to reopen the economy. Testing, tracing, treating. Vaccinate as many people as possible. Take care of our health care workers. | @krixiasINQ
