MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Unfazed by former Sen. Ferdinand \u201cBongbong\u201d Marcos Jr. clinching the backing of three former presidents, Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday said the 2022 elections could instead serve as a \u201creset button\u201d for local politics, which has long been dominated by politicos from dynasties or oligarchic families.<\/p>\n

Speaking to labor representatives who have expressed their support for her presidential bid, Robredo said the 2022 elections were especially important to frustrate the attempts of big political clans and figures to cement their hold on power through shady alliances.<\/p>\n

This was after the political parties of former Presidents Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada, and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo formed an alliance to support Marcos, Robredo\u2019s top rival for the presidency, and his running mate Davao Mayor Sara Duterte.<\/p>\n

Experts have noted that this endorsement was further proof of an Arroyo-Duterte-Marcos allyship, which many say would only entrench traditional politics and kill off chances for reform.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis (the elections) is a chance to press the reset button: if we defeat them, we can usher in a new kind of politics where everyone has a chance to participate in governance,\u201d Robredo said.<\/p>\n

This was part of Robredo\u2019s efforts to build a \u201cpeople\u2019s movement,\u201d where ordinary people have a say in her campaign plans and platforms. It\u2019s why, she said, she chose labor leader Sonny Matula to be part of her senatorial slate, despite admitting it would be \u201cdifficult\u201d to get him in amid this prevailing political climate.<\/p>\n

As such, Robredo and at least 10 labor groups signed a joint commitment to support her presidency in exchange for an agreed labor agenda under her presidency.<\/p>\n

This agenda outlines plans to, among others, promote secure and quality jobs as well as green and climate jobs, achieve a \u201cliving wage\u201d income for the working people, and provide social protection through public services.<\/p>\n

They also seek the improvement of trade union and political rights and consultations on a regular basis to discuss labor and social advocacies.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy commitment now is to give you more space and leeway to participate in governance. Because the answers are not with me alone. They rest in you. And the only thing I can promise you is to assure that you will have a space in my government,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
