Atty. Vic Rodriguez admonishes, addresses VP Leni Robredo as “Mrs. Robredo” amid the alleged video attack against presidential aspirant’s daughter

Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.’s spokesman Atty. Vic Rodriguez recently released a statement addressing VP Robredo’s claim that the Marcoses are behind the smear campaign against her and her daughter, Aika Robredo.

“Enough of your deceptions” said Bongbong Marcos’s spokesman, Vic Rodriguez, in a statement he released earlier today, April 12. The statement comes on the heels of Vice president Leni Robredo’s claim are behind the ongoing smear campaign against her and the members of her family.

During an interview in the province of La Union, where her team graced a people’s rally in San Fernando City, Robredo pointed at the Marcoses for orchestrating the current demolition campaign against her candidacy. 

“Oo naman, oo naman kasi ginawa na niya sa akin since 2016, consistently ginagawa ‘yun sa akin since nag-pick up ‘yung numbers ko noong 2016 elections (Of course…they’ve been doing I since 2016. They’ve been consistent since my numbers picked up in the 2016 elections),” she said when asked whether she thinks it’s the Marcoses behind the smear campaign.

In his response to the allegation, Rodriguez did not deny nor confirm the allegation, but he accused the Vice President and presidential aspirant of merely pulling off a propaganda, instead. “Mrs. Robredo and her yellow crew can no longer deceive the Filipino people as we have all been awakened from their propaganda of lies, falsehood and politics of deception” he declared.

He also accused the vice-president of passing on to the UniTeam camp a practice her team is used to doing. “In the spirit of lent, I admonish you not to pass on to us your brand of fake, hateful, negative and gutter politics” the statement also reads.

Netizens are quick to spot the seemingly inappropriate terms that the spokesperson used. Rodriguez addressed the current vice-president as “Mrs. Robredo” twice. He also failed to acknowledge that the duly-elected vice president is a lawyer like him, although he addressed himself as ‘Atty. Vic Rodriguez” in his press release.

Vice President Leni Robredo won the 2016 national election by 300,000 votes over Marcos Jr., who pleaded twice for a recount but lost.
