Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay announced on Monday (Oct. 18) that he is leaving the Aksyon Demokratiko party for its failure to pick Vice President Leni Robredo as presidential candidate for the 2022 polls.
“I write to announce my resignation from Aksyon Demokratiko and my endorsement of the candidacy of VP Leni Robredo for President,” reads Hildbay’s statement.
“Because I intend, as an ordinary citizen, to publicly support her campaign, I must resign from the only political party I have ever joined,” explained Hilbay who assured that he does not intend to join another party and leave out “out of ethical consideration.”
The lawyer expressed belief that “VP Leni is a much better candidate” and “has been more presidential than the current one.”
“We do not need more of the same, or even less of the same. We can’t afford another narcissistic, gaslighting troll for a president. A candidate who wakes up only during campaigns is no leader, and we can’t have another absentee president,” he stated.
“We need a president who will show up, level with the people, and treat them not as objects to be subjugated but as fellow citizens and stakeholders in nation-building. We need a leader who will empower Filipinos, not kill them,” Hilbay pointed out.
“She is a president who understands why the Marcoses are a current threat; she will hold Duterte and his cronies accountable for their crimes; she will stand up to China and not the see the West Philippine Sea as merely for sale. She will continue to be honest, open-minded, transparent, and one with the citizens. She will respect her office and the Constitution,” he added.
