---------------------------

We strongly believe that the leader we deserve is a person for others, committed to the care of the weak and the vulnerable. No one exemplifies this more than VP Leni Robredo. In line with the Ignatian call to give and not to count the cost, VP Leni Robredo has devoted her life to the promotion of service and justice. Her direct experience in solidarity with the poor through her decades of service as a human rights lawyer has highlighted her genuine compassion and love for the vulnerable. She has struggled with them and learned from them. She fosters a culture of listening-to-the-other and accords the marginalized the dignity and empowerment they rightfully deserve. She upholds cura personalis, "care for the whole person," by paying individualized attention to the needs of the other.

(Message from the Ateneans, 2022)

When VP LENI declared that she would run, she ignited a spirit of volunteerism that just now happened in our political history. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers are sharing their time, talent, energy and resources for LENI'S campaign. A new breed of patriotism emerged. A people's movement has emerged. Every day the volunteers are increasing, helping and not waiting for anything in return.... No candidate has ever done this.

Because her heart is close to the mass, she should only be called WOMAN OF THE MASSES, just like Pres. Ramon Magsaysay was called Man of the Masses.
