Oct 07, 2021

Manila [Philippine], October 7 (ANI/Xinhua): Philippine Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo said on Thursday that she will run for president in the May 2022 elections in the Southeast Asian country.
"I will fight. We will fight. I am running for president in the 2022 elections," Robredo, 56, said in an online announcement.
The opposition coalition 1Sambayan endorsed Robredo to be its presidential candidate.
