During Tuesday’s national executive council of the Liberal Party, which Robredo chairs, the vice president asked her supporters once again to “pray and trust harder” while she worked to unify the opposition and ensure victory over the Duterte administration’s bets. ADVERTISEMENT“I want to emphasize that nothing else runs through my mind except this imperative,” she said in a speech. “And I know you believe in these too no matter our political calculus.”Even so, Robredo herself has yet to decide whether she would challenge President Duterte’s anointed successor. But if in the end there is no forged coalition, that is going to be another decision,” he said. Of course, Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s own political ambitions will also play a big role in her decision-making, Gutierrez said.
