Seen Somewhere


 

Atty Leni Robredo

I was a developmental lawyer, engaged in public interest cases like defending the land rights of Sumilao farmers. 

If you don't know what that means, Mr. Juan Ponce Enrile, developmental lawyering is;

The practice of law fundamentally for individuals, communities, and sectors that have been historically, culturally, and economically marginalized and disenfranchised.

But you probably don't know that because as evident from your post and examples, you only know big-ticket or money-making law practices.

You defend the rich, and I defend the poor. We are not the same.

xoxo,

Atty Maria Leonor G. Robredo

Responding to Netizens Comments

Netizen: Why is Leni the most hated person in the Philippines.  Where is this hatred coming from?


Response:  I am also appalled to know that people hate Leni for anything she does.

It  was a common knowledge that once she chided and denounce Duterte's handling of the government war on drugs. Was it because partisan fans and trolls are just so overprotective of the president that anything that is close to castigate or censure will surely get their ire?

Or was it because she defeated Bongbong Marcos, and people can always forgive ... but they always can't forget? And was it because deep in your heart you always believe that she cheated despite being exonerated by the recounts and despite being exculpated by the Supreme Court when her votes advanced to crescendo to BBM's dismay?

Or was it because she is a tough and a buoyant leader who just like a bamboo dance and swayed with music no matter what diatribes and invectives are thrown her way? Or was it just frustrating to know, that at the time you expect her to fold and surrender, she stand firm and became more a resilient empowered woman?

Or was it because you think she is naive and ill advised, and you are quick to burn her to ashes? But when the going gets tough ... and the tough gets going she manage to rise up from the grave and show you what stuff she is made of.  And just like a rubber ball she bounced back to your chagrin.

She was being treated unfairly, and the more vile and venom you spread, that speak more of you than of her.  So shut the fuck up ... you undergraduate belittling a lawyer!
