MANILA, Philippines — Hundreds of former and current heads of schools, colleges and universities, faculty members from the University of Santo Tomas, and former National Economic and Development Authority employees have come out in support of Vice President Leni Robredo’s presidential bid.

Over 100 former and current heads of schools, colleges and universities endorsed Robredo and her running mate, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, saying that they can address the challenges faced by the education sector in the country head-on and hands-on.

“As Robredo has demonstrated in her tenure as vice president and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, her brand of leadership shines through best in times of crisis — one that can find solutions that are context-based, data-driven and equity-oriented,” they said.
