Vice President Leni Robredo had her fair share of successes and failures in 2019, but on balance, it was a good yet challenging year after she survived the political storm. Above all, her most notable victory was when she won as vice president—twice.

As the way the year went, she was in for a tough ride in the world of politics. The viciousness in the political arena and social media got nastier for Robredo, whose relationship with President Rodrigo Duterte further hit the rough road.Robredo got embroiled in a controversy over the ”Ang Totoong Narcolist” viral videos featuring Peter Joemel Advincula, alias “Bikoy,” the hooded man who linked the family and allies of Duterte to the illegal drug trade.

“To make it clear, I have never met Mr. Advincula. The first time I saw Mr. Advincula was in the news coverage of the press conference held at the office of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines on May 6, 2019,” she said. The Vice President counted this SC ruling as a win because, in effect, it upheld her proclamation in the 2016 vice presidential election.

It was an “uphill battle” for the eight opposition bets in the May 13 midterm elections. They were the lesser-known candidates. They lacked campaign funds, machinery, and support from local politicians. They just banked on a volunteer-driven campaign. The ax fell on Robredo for meeting foreign individuals or organizations that have prejudged the drug war, and her demand for the anti-body to provide her classified information that she could share to others, Malacañang said.Her spokesperson and legal adviser Barry Gutierrez told Manila Bulletin that it was the Vice President’s intent to serve her fellow Filipinos that kept her going.
