Robredo revealed
August 4, 2016 in an entry with the title “A plagiarist, a madman.”
The context in which the information about the case was revealed, and where the name of Leni Robredo was mentioned, is damaging to Robredo herself, as it indicated a possible unethical act that she may have committed.
LilacSunsets is obviously a proRobredo hatchet person. She hides in the comfort of her pseudonym to reveal what she thinks are damning information against Robredo critics.
LilacSunsets obviously was fed the information not only about the case, and Robredo’s involvement, but also about the fact that the accused judge has my surname. In her initial entries, she irresponsibly used the information to launch a vitriolic attack against me, wrongfully suggesting that I was the one involved and it was my daughter who was raped.
At the time, I was so angry and went on social media denouncing the canard. It was only then that another relative informed me of the rape case against my relative, and told me that this irresponsible blogger was actually talking of the wrong Contreras.
I had no knowledge of such a case, considering that I was already residing in Laguna since 1978, and that the last time I saw my relative was when I was still in high school.
It is a fact that lawyers are sworn to maintain confidentiality on matters such as this, more so that it involves a sensitive family matter. Robredo is a lawyer. She should know that the mere act of the woman approaching her for legal assistance already binds her to the ethics of her profession.
The only way the information about the case could have reached this pro-Robredo blogger, is from Robredo, or someone who got the information from Robredo. She would not have obtained such it but against my relative. Furthermore, Robredo’s involvement in the case was not mentioned in the media reports, and more so in the
Recently, a pro-Robredo anonymous FB account again resurrected - ting the information right that it was my relative who was involved and not me. However, I was still implicated, as the blogger made it appear that Robredo’s refusal to help in reaching an amicable settlement to spare my relative from a legal case was the supposed source of my beef against Robredo.
Indeed, there are reasons why I have this visceral reaction against Robredo, and many of these are drawn from my own personal knowledge of her. After all, we cannot be faulted for having deepseated biases based on personal encounters and knowledge.
But more importantly, Robredo trolls should realize that many people despise Robredo even if they have not encountered her personally, for a host of reasons. She is being suspected of being a - ances and self-aggrandizing photo ops. She is perceived as incompetent. She was on vacation for a reunion while her province was being ravaged by Typhoon Nina. She has been shown to be not completely truthful.
Meanwhile, LilacSunsets should prove her mettle and ask for the real reason why my family has an axe to grind against Leni Robredo. And it has nothing to do with rape, school for someone undeserving to graduate as top of her class.
