@rapplerdotcom Robredo: Many thanks to our new AFP chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Andres Centino, and to the honorable men and women of the AFP Joint Staff for the insightful discussion that we had at today’s security briefing. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Robredo: Sa gitna ng maraming pagsubok na hinaharap ng ating bansa, masuwerte tayo na nananatiling matatag at tapat sa taumbayan ang ating sandatahang lakas. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom During the security briefing, Robredo assures the AFP of her support to the military anti-insurgency campaign, but also pointed out that she has been red-tagged by the NTF-ELCAC.
Robredo earlier said she wants the NTF-ELCAC abolished. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Robredo: I want to address the elephant in the room kasi I've been quoted so many times already that I'm for the abolition of NTF ELCAC. And I want to emphasize today that I am all for the mandate and the functions of ELCAC. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Robredo: In fact, yung Barangay Development Fund, I think that's the best part of everything. Paniniwala ko, talagang it is only through concepts like this that the problems of insurgency can be addressed upfront. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Robredo says careless statements of some NTF-ELCAC members have put the task force in a bad light: Ako mismo, I've been on the receiving end of unfair accusations. I've been red tagged and the red tagging has been baseless. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Robredo: Kaisa nyo ako sa pagsubok na masugpo ito (insurgency) by addressing the core of these problems, and the peripheral issues surrounding it #PHVote#WeDecide

LOOK: Pharmally execs Mohit Dargani and Linconn Ong, detained by the Senate for failing to cooperate in the ongoing probe, will soon be sent to the Pasay City Jail. They had their med check-up, swab tests done before their transfer to Pasay. Senate PRIB photos @rapplerdotcom
@rapplerdotcom Dargani and Ong are currently at the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, but they are expected to be transferred to the Pasay City Jail within the day. Commitment order for their transfer was already signed y Senate President Tito Sotto.
@rapplerdotcom The Senate ribbon committee moved last Fri to send Dargani and Ong to jail if they fail to retrieve financial documents that senators are asking for. The Pharmally execs failed to give exact location of the docs, so they're going to jail today.
Presidential aspirant and VP Leni Robredo now set to sign a covenant with the Alliance of Labor Leaders 4 Leni, whose key members include senatorial bet Sonny Matula. #PHVote#WeDecide@rapplerdotcom
@rapplerdotcom Robredo asks labor leaders to look at the track records of the candidates: Madali lang mag-promise lalo na pag panahon ng eleksyon..Yung ibang mga kandidato, nagbibigay sila ng pahanon sa mga manggagawa? Kinakausap ba nila? Yung yung indikasyon na hindi lang siya campaign promise
@rapplerdotcom Robredo says it's not enough that she would promise reforms via the covenant signing, says she would also need the cooperation of labor leaders to improve the plight of Filipino workers should she win: Hindi ako magikero. Maraming mga factors na kailangang gawin para mangyari ito

Artists Ina Esquivel and AG Saño tell @rapplerdotcom the murals they and other artists created for the Volunteer Center of presidential bet VP Leni Robredo and her running mate Sen Kiko Pangilinan are a "labor of love" which took them 2 weeks to finish, free of charge. #PHVote
@rapplerdotcom Muralist AG Saño, who designed the 60-foot mural of Leni-Kiko, says: We chose to do this as a labor of love... because we believe in their cause. That’s why we want to rally behind that. No amount could match the love that we have for their cause. #PHVote#WeDecide
@rapplerdotcom Saño on the Leni-Kiko mural: They’re looking at the direction of the east holding their chest as if singing the national anthem and committing to the flag. And you will also see on their shirts written, some popular quotes from them as well as the Constitution. #PHVote#WeDecide
