VP Leni Robredo says as COVID-19 cases rapidly spike due to Omicron, there has also been a deluge of teleconsult requests in her office's Bayanihan E-Konsulta service. They have to impose a 400 cap per day now because even volunteers are getting infected. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: Ayaw naman sana namin mag-cap every day. Naglagay tayo ng cap na 400 kasi mina-manage natin according to the number of volunteers that we have... Ang problema ngayon, marami tayong volunteers na may sakit. So talagang overstretched 'yung volunteers natin. | @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo also says they want to expand the coverage of the OVP's free mobile antigen service Swab Cab. But they are constrained with issues like volunteers also getting sick, limited funds to buy antigen tests. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo says Duterte government should step up to respond to need for mass testing: Ang pinaka-worry dito, pag 'di siya natugunan early on, baka maraming infected na gumagala na nakaka-infect sila ng iba nang 'di nila alam. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo on COVID-19 cases surge: Sobrang nakakabahala. Kaya ito nga 'yung punto natin na sana ma-control 'yung transmissibility, kasi pag 'di natin na-control yung transmissibility, 'yung healthcare system natin, 'di niya kakayanin. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda On her presidential campaign, Robredo says the challenge to organize all her supporters who mobilized for her was a "good problem" to have, says she established her People's Councils network precisely to implement a more disciplined campaign messaging. #PHVote | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda New central tagline for the Robredo campaign: "Gobyernong Tapat, Angat Buhay Lahat."

Robredo: Pinaka-problema lang sa amin nung sa process pa lang ng pag-organize nagdi-dilute yung messaging, nagdi-diffuse. Kaya naisip natin na magkaroon ng isang common tagline #PHVote

@maracepeda Robredo on organizing her Kakampinks: Ngayon na mas organized na sila under one umbrella, mas magiging madali na sa amin yung distribution. Pinag-usapan din namin na dahil independent naman yung mga grupo na 'to, to give them as much elbow room as possible. #PHVote | @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo on communicating her leadership capabilities: Pinaka-challenge sa amin yung distribution. Hindi namin kailangang mag-branding. (1/2)

@maracepeda Robredo: Hindi namin kailangang na gumawa ng parang mag-develop ng isang storyline para lang to fit to the leadership narrative kasi ang dami naming resibo. (2/2) #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo says emphasis on the coming weeks will be one-on-one campaigning. Goal is to do this in person, but given the latest surge in COVID-19 cases, efforts would be virtual for now. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo says she remains open to a possible alliance with other presidential bets, but she acknowledges it's tough to unite at this point in the campaign. #PHVote #WeDecide | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: Siyempre hope ka pa rin magkaroon ng unification along the way. 'Yun 'yung best bet, na bumuti yung standing ng whoever it is, whoever among us 'yung mag-u-unify. While open ako, hindi ako masyadong umaasa na mangyayri 'yun in the soonest possible time. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo hits false info online claiming Bayanihan E-Konsulta teleconsult services is a supposed front for politics. Robredo debunks lie claiming they are requiring people to give their precincts number. They don't ask for this info and they cater to all patients. | @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo: Para i-discredit using fake news, sobrang unfair. 'Pag may nagre-register sa amin, hindi naman namin tinatanong kung ano 'yung political affiliation. Hindi namin tinatanong kung sino iboboto nila sa susunod na election kasi hindi naman relevant 'yun. | via @maracepeda

@maracepeda Robredo on false info being spread about Bayanihan E-Konsulta: Sobrang unforgivable na at the worst possible time na pandemic ay ginagawa nila ito. | via @maracepeda
