Mahigit 1,300 estudyante at alumni ng University of the Philippines (UP) College of Law ang nag-endorso sa presidential candidacy ni Vice President Leni Robredo nitong Linggo.

Ayon sa pahayag ng 1,308 signatories kung saan iginiit nila ang kahalagahan ng 2022 elections, tayo ay nasa punto kung saan nararanasan natin ang ‘crisis of values’, at hindi na umano dapat magluklok ng maling lider para sa bansa.

“Our failure to make the right choices in the May 2022 elections would mean more suffering for the Filipino people, more oppression and more injustice,” pahayag ng mga signatories.

“Among the candidates for the May 2022 elections, we believe that the right person for the Presidency is Leni Robredo,” dagdag nila.

Ayon sa mga estudyante at alumni, nagpakita si Robredo ng “compassion, integrity, competence, patriotism and vision to steer our country out of various crises.”

“Leni Robredo provides leadership from the front. This is what we need to climb out of our present predicament. To rebuild our economy, to rework our justice system, to preserve our national patrimony, we need a Leader who inspires. Leni Robredo is that leader,” giit pa nila.

Nagbigay din ng pahayag ang UP Law students at alumni na kung mae-elect si former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., “it eviscerates the Rule of Law we have labored so hard to rebuild.”

“It will institutionalize impunity and unequal application of the law as he himself files a claim for his father’s plundered wealth and continues to resist paying taxes long overdue. And to allow him to reclaim power debases the memory of all who have suffered and died under his family’s rule,” pahayag ng mga ito.

“For us, alumni and students of UP Law, our conscience and convictions tell us to vote for Leni Robredo, the person who has demonstrated Honor and Excellence, and who possesses unquestioned integrity, competence, patriotism and a vision to uplift all Filipinos, especially those who have been left behind in the margins of society,” dagdag pa nila.
