WAC on Leni's honorary award: 'Bigay lang din ng mga kakampi niya'

We Are Collective (WAC) in their Facebook page commented on the news that Vice President Leni Robredo has received an honorary degree, claiming that this was a degree given to her by comrades in politics.

Robredo allegedly received the award from the University of Saint Anthony in Camarines Sur, whose owner Atty Santiago Ortega Jr., is related to Senator Leila de Lima.



"Sabi na nga ba at magkakandarapa si Leni na tanggapin ang Honorary Doctorate Degree kahit ang nagbigay nito ay ang pamantasan na pagmamay-ari ng isa sa mga top donors ni Leila De Lima noong nakaraang halalan," WAC said.

"Si Leila De Lima ay taga Iriga sa Cam Sur at kababayan nya ang may-ari ng University of Saint Anthony sa Iriga City na si Atty Santiago Ortega, Jr.," the blog added.

Both Robredo and De Lima are members of the Liberal Party.

"It doesn't matter kung sila sila din lang ang nagbibigay ng parangal sa kanilang mga sarili, kagaya ni Leila na pinarangalan din kamakailan ng award mula sa isang grupong konektado naman kay Loida Nicolas-Lewis," the post read.

WAC said that "superficial" awards do not legitimize one's legacy in public service.



"Maaaring bumenta ito noon at nakalinlang ng maraming tao. Subalit nagbago na ang panahon ngayon. Institutions like the Church, the Academe, and Mainstream Media that have long been tried and tested instruments of the Oligarchy are slowly beginning to crumble. Their credibility are gradually being torn to shreds by disruptive factors that tend to expose their duplicity and hypocrisy for everyone to see," the blog said.

"Iba na panahon ngayon Leni. Wala ka nang maloloko sa ganyang mga diskarte ngayon," it added.

WAC said that they still congratulate Robredo for being a doctor. They said that after she "doctored" her win on the elections, the title would legitimize her expertise.
