Marcos camp: It was Leni Robredo who stole the vice presidency

The camp of former Sen. Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos took "strongly exeption" to the statement of Vice President Leni Robredo that she would not allow the vice presidency be "stolen" from her.

Rodriguez was describing a statement Robredo read at an information meeting earlier discussing her reason for stopping her post as chief of the Housing as well as Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).

“Such pronouncement is the height of hypocrisy,” Vic Rodriguez, legal spokesman of Marcos, said in a statement issued on Monday.

“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,” Rodriguez added, referring to the Liberal Party under which Robredo ran in the May 9 elections, along with presidential bet Manuel “Mar” Roxas II. “It was they who thwarted the will of the Filipino people by depriving them of their real choice for the vice presidency.”
