Episode description

Vice President Leni Robredo is running for president in 2022 ending months of hopeful anticipation among supporters who believe the Philippines can no longer endure and does not deserve six more years of a Duterte-like governance.

The other goal, of course, is to defeat the son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos who is also gunning for the presidency.  

In a speech before she filed her certificate of candidacy, Robredo made clear her will is strong to take up the challenge. She also asked supporters to go out of their comfort zones, reach out, take a stand and take action.

Now comes the important part — how does she win? How does she overcome perceived advantages of other candidates in terms of support base political machinery and of course, money?
