She said the lies being spread about her are hurting her ratings. The Vice President is currently facing an electoral protest filed by former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Humaharap tayo sa maraming balakid sa pagtupad sa ating mandato, kasama na ang maraming kasinungalingang ipinapakalat, sa pagtatangkang agawin ang tanggapang ito at ang mandatong ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng taumbayan (We are facing a number of obstacles to fulfill our mandate, including the many lies being spread about me, in an attempt to to steal the mandate entrusted to us by the people),” said Robredo.

The Vice President, however, remains hopeful because of her supporters.

Ngunit ang inyong tiwala at suporta ay nagsisilbing tanglaw sa akin upang lalo pang pagbutihin ang aking trabaho. Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy nating ipaglalaban ang mga pangarap at boses ng ating mga kapwa Pilipino,” she said.

(But your trust and support serve as a guiding light for me to strive to do my best in my work. You can count on me to keep on fighting for the dreams and voice of our fellow Filipinos.) – Rappler.com
