THE repeated question, which the surveys do not capture, asked by the marginalized and disadvantaged sectors, millennials and senior citizens, civil society and non-government organizations, progressives and professionals is: 'How can I help Leni?'

This is a vivid expectation and a manifest desire for Vice President Maria Leonor 'Leni' Robredo to run for president, and Filipinos are ready to support her bid. This is spontaneous volunteerism, which no money can buy, no black propaganda can detract, and no mercenary trolls can derail. It is a clear consensus that only Leni can unite the opposition and win against President Rodrigo Duterte's anointed candidate. It is a vital realization that only a united opposition can bring back trustworthy and enlightened leadership, accountable and honest governance and genuine pro-people policies and programs. It is a firm resolve to end Duterte's repressive and unresponsive administration, and it is also an ardent articulation for genuine change.
