Since I was 12, I’ve been looking forward to the day where my Ates and I have Mama all to ourselves again, but I guess that would have to wait :)

Mama, I’ve never been more proud to be your daughter. Happy I get to cast my vote for you this time around 🇵🇭 #LabanLeni2022 pic.twitter.com/zovM0FIUuK

Also on the Twitter trending list was “Lalaban tayo,” a phrase used by Robredo in announcing her candidacy.

"Buong-buo ang loob ko ngayon. Kailangan nating palayain ang sarili mula sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon. Lalaban ako. Lalaban tayo,” she said.

“Ang pag-ibig, nasusukat hindi lang sa pagtitiis, kundi sa kahandaang lumaban. Ang nagmamahal, kailangang ipaglaban ang minamahal.”

Robredo on Thursday announced her bid for the presidency in next year's elections, which she cast as a fight for the country's survival.

The vice president, earlier picked by coalition opposition 1Sambayan as its presidential bet, cited the crucial need for decent leadership amid the pandemic, when Filipinos have been struggling to get the help they need.

Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan will be Robredo's running mate, sources told ABS-CBN News.
