Opposition partisans associated with the “leading” Yellowtard bloc within it that directly support the presidential candidacy of “vice president” Leni Robredo are scrambling to justify the thinking behind a recent spate of low-brow campaign materials that have gone “viral” — for the wrong reasons. Partisan camps opposed to the Yellowtards are having a field day…
A VERA Files “report” falsely flagged as “false” the 2016 Get Real Post article “Leni Robredo disqualified from the VP post due to LP non-compliance to COMELEC policy!”.

It has everything to do with President Rodrigo Duterte and it is an election year. Why would the Senate stoop so low as to bestow a medal of excellence on Maria Ressa when her work as a journalist is hardly excellent?
