Sara slams Leni

FOLLOWING the statement of Vice President Leni Robredo on the importance of honesty and integrity to run for public office, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said that Robredo then must quit seeking the presidency.

Last Friday, March 8, Duterte-Carpio hit back at those who reacted negatively on her statement that every politician is a liar, saying that if lying would be used as basis for disqualification then there would be no politician who can run for government post.

In an official statement, Duterte-Carpio defended her stand on the matter and slammed Robredo for expressing dismay over the statement of the presidential daughter.

“Leni Robredo should avoid commenting about honesty and integrity. Her honesty has been questioned since day one of her term as Vice President,” Duterte-Carpio said.

“She is not called fake VP for no reason. She has tried to copy her late husband but has failed at every turn. She is facing an electoral protest for massive fraud during the 2016 elections,” she said, adding that Robredo even refused to answer allegations of her relationship with a married man.

She added that if Robredo will continue to insist in saying that one needs to be honest to run for public office, Robredo should have to “say goodbye to her dreams of becoming president.”

“The reason why good moral character is not a requirement to run for Vice President is because we have so many Leni Robredos in this world,” she said.
