The facts: This quote stemmed from the appearance of UP Prof. Clarita Carlos in the radio talkshow of DLSU Prof. Antonio Contreras (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=43F2crTkUs8)
Prof. Carlos rose into prominence agin for becoming a panelist of the SMNI Debate, which many of the candidates did not join. Fortunately, it was one of the only two debates that poll frontrunner Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. attended so far.
In this talk show, Carlos indeed said the statement: “That is why I don’t like what Robredo is doing. Di ba she started with an anti-something platform?”
She added that she is closely watching Robredo because they both came from Naga.
And then she said that it was an actual quote, about Robredo’s remark pointed out in the pub mat, that “I (Robredo) am running because I don’t want BBM to win.”
In fairness to Carlos, she also criticized BBM and Pacquiao. She said that she asked Bongbong to “accept military and police atrocities” during the reign of his father.
She added that the other indicators like agriculture, health services and others were satisfactory during that time, and focusing only the repression would cloud the other good aspects.
She also chastised Manny Pacquiao for his lack of foreign policy knowledge.
As a whole, Carlos said that there should be one suyod (louse nitpicker) for all candidates and not different standards for each.
As a whole, the interview was unbiased. Unfortunately, by nitpicking only on Carlos’ perception on Robredo, we are losing the whole perspective.
The pub mat also creates the perception that Robredo is out for vengeance on only one person when she has a comprehensive platform for the government.
