STUDENT groups at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines expressed full support to Vice President Leni Robredo’s  presidential bid.

The groups led by the PUP Office of the Student Regent said they backed Robredo because of her “strong qualifications.”

They added that they trust Robredo because her office received “the highest audit ratings for consecutive years.”

“The clean track record that Leni Robredo earned over the years of competent, compassionate, and honest service for the people outshone that of the other presidential aspirants,” the groups said.

“As an organization that proclaims service for more than 70,000 Iskolars ng Bayan, we believe that now is the time to choose a national leader who reflects in her actions the pillars of good governance: transparency and accountability,” they said in a statement.

“Not only was she able to prove her competence through her educational background and political experiences, but also her work and projects for the people over the years of servicing in the Office of Vice President manifest her ability to act on her sworn duty,” they added.

Law students from Ateneo de Manila University also threw their support behind Robredo.

“We have long hoped for a leader who is responsive, transparent, and lives a life of service for the Filipino people with utmost integrity,” ADMU students said.

“We encourage the Ateneo Law Community, together with the Filipino youth, to register for the upcoming elections and vote for a tomorrow that thrives on the rule of law, and not the rule of man,” they added.
