Leni Robredo should prioritize honest elections over her own interests

May 20, 2016May 20, 2016 Ilda 43 Comments

Philippine Congresswoman Leni Robredo’s true character is starting to show. This is evident in how quickly she dismissed calls for a systems audit to determine if the election results were affected by the script change done to the server by Smartmatic technicians in the middle of canvassing of votes on Election Day. From a reluctant…
