VIEWS ON NATIONAL ISSUES
YES- FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
YES- BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW
* The Manila Times quoted her saying, “If we voted down the BBL, it’s just like we emptied the space for the decades- long peace talks in Mindanao.”
NO- PDAF
* Supports abolition of PDAF; proposed a “performance-based” system where constituents can nominate projects that they want funded through lawmakers’ pork barrel.
“If PDAF is going to be used for patronage politics, mas mabuti na lang abolish. But if it can be converted into something that will allow it to become a tool for development, a measure for inclusive growth. It would be great if it can be used properly.” Leni Robredo
COAL-FIRED POWERPLANT
* Against heavy dependency on coal ” We understand it is cheaper and easier to do but its impact on the environment and health is really bad. We need the political will to shift to renewable energy.” Leni Robredo
