The backing of some former military and police generals for Vice President Leni Robredo’s presidential bid refutes the red-tagging ploy directed against her and her supporters.
This was stated by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, who is seeking a fresh term in the Senate under Robredo’s slate, in response to allegations that their campaign rallies were attended by “hakot“ crowds consisted of student activists from the Left.
Trillanes was referring to retired Philippine National Police Maj. Gen. Generoso Cerbo Jr. and retired Armed Forces of the Philippines Maj. Gen. Domingo Tutaan who confirmed the “groundswell of support” from former AFP and PNP chiefs for Robredo’s candidacy. On March 7, the Vice President met with ex-generals from both the AFP and PNP a day after a politician, taken aback by the massive turnout in Robredo sorties, “tried to paint the massive sea of pink as red.”Cavite 7th District Rep. Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla alleged that those in pink “uniforms” attending Robredo’s rally in General Trias last week were paid P500 each. Pink is Robredo’s new campaign color.
The Robredo People’s Council-Cavite, which organized the campaign rally, condemned the “malicious, irresponsible, and baseless” allegations of Remulla.
