Vice President Leni Robredo’s daughters made witty reactions to United States President Donald Trump’s claim of election fraud and going the Supreme Court to dispute the counting of votes.
The Robredo sisters said Trump’s cheating allegation was reminiscent of the 2016 elections when their mother was elected as vice president.
“Uy parang may ganitong linyahan din dito nung 2016 (There seems to be a similar line here in 2016),” Tricia, the Vice President’s second daughter, said in a Twitter post.
Jillian, the youngest of the Robredo siblings, retweeted her sister’s message, after which she wrote: “Baka paggising lamang na si Biden sa key states kung saan lamang si Trump tapos sasabihin dinaya.”
(Maybe after waking up, Biden took the lead in the key states where Trump was leading, then they would say he was cheated)
Tricia answered back “Biden Lugaw” which appeared to throw shades at her mother’s bashers on social media.
The Vice President has been called “Leni Lugaw” or “Lugaw Queen” by trolls since photos of her supporters selling porridge to raise funds for her campaign circulated during the 2016 elections.
Lugaw is a Filipino word for porridge. It is also a slang term that refers to a stupid person.
Robredo’s eldest daughter, Aika, made sure she was not also left out in the conversation. She joined her sisters by tweeting, “Rice porridge! Biden!”
The Vice President is facing an electoral protest concerning the 2016 elections filed against her by former Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. before the Supreme Court.
