Isko party exec, others back Leni-Sara for 'genuine unity'

MANILA, Philippines — A supposedly "people-led" movement that claims to have at least 100,000 members across the country is pushing for Vice President Leni Robredo and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio to team up and forge "genuine unity."

Representatives of the Kay Leni-Sara Movement — or KaLeSa — including a member of the Aksyon Demokratiko party, said the two women leaders would complement each other if Robredo wins the presidency and Duterte-Carpio gets the vice-presidency.

"Naniniwala tayo na nangangailangan ng KaLeSa tandem, Leni Robredo at Sara Duterte, upang masiguro ang pagbubukas ng pinto para sa pagkakaisa," Olongapo City Councilor Kaye Legaspi said Thursday in a press conference. "Mayroon tayong isang lider na nagpamalas ng galing at kalinga, at mayroon naman tayong isang lider na buo ang tapang."

(We believe that we need the KaLeSa tandem, Leni Robredo and Sara Duterte, to ensure that the door to unity will be opened … We have a leader who has shown competence and care, and we have a leader who is totally courageous.)
