#LetLeniSpeak and “VP Leni” were also among the top trending topics until Thursday, Jan. 27, morning.

Robredo was a guest on Abunda’s “2022 Presidential One-on-One Interviews” which was aired on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

The hashtag #LeniAngatSaLahat was tweeted more than 171,000 times as netizens praised Robredo for her answers on various issues, particularly on topics such as economic recovery, pandemic response, drug war, and the “political fast talk” segment where she called former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. a “liar.”

“VP Leni is ready. Can’t wait for her to be our president,” actor-model Elijah Canlas (@elijahcanlas_) said.

“Catching up on the Leni Robredo interview by Boy Abunda. She is so clearly a woman with a plan #LeniAngatSaLahat #LetLeniSpeak,” blogger and social media influencer Saab Magalona-Bacarro (@saabmagalona) added.

The hashtags #LetLeniSpeak and #AbundaBiased also trended because of the TV host’s numerous interruption while Robredo was explaining her answers. Netizens said he was not the same with Senator Panfilo Lacson and Marcos, whose interviews aired before Robredo.

"Why am I sensing that Tito Boy is (intellectually) competing with VP Leni in here? hahaha. the way he interrupts her is really so annoying na ha..," said @MyEnkeli.

"When Leni said, "bigyan mo akong (give me) time to rundown tito boy,” She knew that she has a lot to say and she was interrupted HAHAHAHA," @angqalat quipped.

"Let Leni Speak, Tito Boy," @sosyolohija told Abunda.

“Boy Abunda is called “King of Talk” for a reason because he does not know how to listen without interrupting. #LeniAngatSaLahat,” Twitter user @RoldanSevilla said.
