Lawyer on Leni giving inspirational stories in radio show: 'Political gimmick lang'

When people share stories of hope, these are without a doubt, meant to inspire the masses.  However, when it is a politician doing so, the  intention must be questioned.

This was the sentiment of Marcos lawyer Glenn Chong who criticized Vice President Leni Robredo's stint of sharing several inspirational stories in her new radio show.



Glenn in his Facebook account, said that the VP is merely using these stories to improve her own image.

"Una, sa pinaka-unang bahagi pa lamang ng report na ito, sinabing ito raw ang paraan ni presumptive VP Robredo na kontrahin ang mga negatibong komentaryo sa kanya sa social media – ang pagpapalaganap ng pag-asa."

He said the show was meant to fix Robredo's failing ratings.

"Hindi pala pagtulong sa kapwa ang nasa isip niya kundi upang mai-ahon niya ang kanyang bumabagsak na ratings," he said.

He questioned if Robredo did in fact want to use the program for public service.



"Pangalawa, ang pangalan ng programa niya ay BISErbisyong LENI. Ito ay nagtataglay ng sagisag ng mga traditional politicians o “trapo” – ang paggamit ng kanilang pangalan sa kung anu-anong mga bagay mula sa basurahan hanggang sa radio program," he said.

"Kaya ang ginagawang ito ni Leni Robredo ay political gimmick lamang! Ito ba ang totoong kahulugan ng Tatak Robredo sa serbisyo publiko?," he added.

Robredo's show airs every Sunday for an hour, in RMN stations.

On May 14 during the pilot episode, Robredo had as guests a nutrition advocate and a solo parent.
