The Marcos camp called Robredo a hypocrite who was attacking the integrity of the High Court.

Marcos’ lawyer Vic Rodriguez said: “Such pronouncement is the height of hypocrisy. The vice presidency has indeed been stolen and it was stolen by no less than Mrs. Robredo herself and the political party she continuously supports. It was they who thwarted the will of the Filipino people by depriving them of their real choice for the vice presidency.”

“Her statement on the vice presidency is yet another affront to the Supreme Court as she is undermining the integrity and independence of Presidential Electoral Tribunal by casting doubt this early on, on all its future actions and processes,”  he added.

The lawyer said it was Robredo who stole the position she is in now.

“Long before the May 2016 elections, we were the first ones to reveal the Liberal Party’s ‘Plan ‘ which was to rob Senator Marcos of the Vice-Presidency, install Mrs. Robredo in his stead and eventually work for the ouster of President Dutert,” said Rodriguez.
