Robredo: No prosperity under strongman rule

'PROSPERITY does not depend on one man's ability to wield power,' Vice President Maria Leonor 'Leni' Robredo said on Tuesday.

Robredo' statement was part of a speech she delivered before the Rotary Club of Makati where she appealed for help for her office’s flagship anti-poverty program Angat Buhay which links the private sector to poor communities based on research provided by her office.
