Robredo widow rejects political dynasties

Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo, who won against a political dynasty in her first bid for an electoral post in 2013, has thrown her support behind a proposed anti-political dynasty law.

“I join [President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s] call for the expedient passage of the anti-dynasty bill. Since the enactment of the Constitution, our people have been clamoring for this specific measure that will give every Juan and Juana de la Cruz a chance to serve in government,” Robredo said in a statement.
