00:00He will resign from politics in 2022, but President Bombo-Marcos is still smiling and smiling.
00:07Former Vice President Lenny Robredo also attended an event in Sorsogon.
00:12Witness, Jonathan Andal.
00:14He smiled, he smiled, he greeted.
00:25That was the quick reunion of the well-known rivals in politics,
00:29President Bombo-Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo here in Sorsogon City.
00:35A rare opportunity for Marcos and Robredo to reunite in public,
00:39which was the key to removing the vice president during the 2016 election.
00:44Robredo defeated Marcos with a score of 263,473 votes.
00:50Marcos appealed it to the Supreme Court, which is the Presidential Electoral Tribunal,
00:55but it was not approved.
00:57The two faced each other in the 2022 presidential elections,
01:01where Marcos defeated Robredo with a high score of votes.
01:05Robredo received the result.
01:09Senate President Sheiza Escudero was the reason for the meeting between Marcos and Robredo.
01:14Escudero invited Robredo to join him in the President's visit to Bicol
01:19for the inauguration of Sorsogon Sports Arena,
01:22which is said to be the biggest sports venue in Bicol Region with 12,000 seating capacity.
01:28It's symbolic because in the sports arena, we are together as an odd trio, right?
01:35And maybe it's a good combination of the lessons of the politicians that happened.
01:42In the career of politics, let's remember to be a sportsman,
01:47to follow the rules and regulations,
01:49and to accept freely who will be the winner of the medal,
01:54or in this case, in the election.
01:56Former Senator Bam Aquino was also present at the meeting.
02:00He is the nephew of the former Senator Ninoy Aquino,
02:03who was also against the politics of Marcos.
02:05Bam became Robredo's campaign manager during the 2022 elections.
02:10Escudero believes that this is the beginning of a surge of injuries
02:15between Robredo and Marcos.
02:17I think this is the first step towards healing any wounds,
02:24any incomprehension,
02:26because remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.
02:33So it's easier to heal, it's easier to fix it,
02:37rather than personal.
02:38In the original plan, Marcos and Robredo will sit on a chair, on a bench.
02:43But after Robredo took Marcos' hand,
02:45he left immediately because he has an appointment in Naga.
02:49You know VP Leni, he doesn't want to make a scene,
02:51and I asked him what he should do.
02:55In fact, he just waited for President Marcos to come
02:58before he left and went back to Naga.
03:00We tried to convince Robredo, but he refused.
03:04But his spokesman said,
03:05VP Leni has been very, very clear in her position,
03:10that any healing, any reconciliation,
03:13must be based on justice and principles.
03:17And I think her position on that matter hasn't changed.
03:21The President did not mention in his speech
03:23what Robredo will see,
03:25but he emphasized the importance of unity.
03:29From the beginning, unity is what I aspire for
03:33for a better and more effective government.
03:36We may have differences in beliefs and opinions,
03:41but I know that we are united in our aspirations
03:46to improve the quality of life of every Filipino.
03:52Before Robredo and Marcos met,
03:55Vice President Sara Duterte also visited Robredo
03:59in her house in Naga.
04:00After that, she was greeted by allies of President Marcos
04:04who were accompanied by DILG Secretary Benor Abalos
04:06and Senator Bong Revilla.
04:08Robredo said,
04:09these visits have nothing to do with politics
04:12because everyone is welcome to visit
04:15the feast of the Virgin of Peña Francia.
