Vice President Leni Robredo has urged Filipinos to support candidates in the 2019 midterm elections who are not after their own political survival.
Robredo said politicians should not equate their support for President Duterte with their vote for federalism.
“Here in our country, the politicians think that if they don’t support the President’s advocacy they will lose. They also don’t like to earn the ire of the President and don’t want to get a zero budget. This kind of politicians are the ones who would like to cling to power,” she said.
“Sadly, many of the politicians think of their own survival,” she said.
