The vice president of the Philippines is in need of funds.

Former presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda on Wednesday, started a fund-raising campaign to aid VP Leni Robredo shoulder the legal fees resulting from the election protest filed against her by former Senator Bongbong Marcos.


Robredo has previously expressed concerns regarding the expenses that would come with the case, stating that this was a bigger worry for her than the actual merits of the opponent’s allegations.

"Tingin ko magiging mahal masyado. 'Yung initial deposit ata P200K. Mahirap 'yun sa akin kasi wala naman akong pagkukunan," she said at a press brief, referring to the legal fees for her lawyer, Romuro Macalintal.

Lacierda calls on to the 14.4 million Filipinos who voted for the vice president to offer donations to help her. He started the #PisoparakayLeni this morning which has earned thousands of shares as of press time.

“Our job to help her is not over. So many of us voted for her to be our Vice President,” he wrote. MJM
