Proposal to revert vague heading "Activism" to "Early Government Work" and "Civil Society Work"
This is a proposal to revert the heading "Activism" to "Early Government Work" and "Civil Society Work", for the following reasons:
 * 1) "Activism" is vague, and implies that the work done during this period was private in nature, whereas the activities the subject engaged in during this period were a. employment in a government institutions and b. institutional engagement within the civil society sector, neither of which is public.
 * 2) "Activism" does not distinguish between two very distinct kinds of engagement already described under #1.

Normally, I feel that rewriting clarity, completeness, and thoroughness would need no explanation, but I would like to seek a consensus so that this article would stop getting truncated in favor of what I feel is a misguided and eventually reader-confusing effort to shorten the article and minimize the number of headings. Seeking input from the wikicommunity, Alternativity (talk) 09:00, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree that the heading should be changed. I think that "Early career" would be a more appropriate heading for that section, given that the information provided in that section basically talks about her career before she became a nationally known figure following her husband's death. PatTag2659, a hopeful aviator (talk) 09:37, 11 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I concur and, given that this discussion has been going on for a while whithout other comments, I will make the change shortly. I suppose we can continue to discuss here if anyone has other ideas, though. Anyway. Thanks! - Alternativity (talk) 01:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism
Recent edits to this article (e.g. revision as of 19:16 9 June 2016) are acts of vandalism, presumably from anti-Robredo/anti-LP shills. How can we request for this article to be protected? --Hijo de Caridad95 (talk) 11:07, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Republic Act RA10655
Under Legislative Portfolio, the article lists, "Republic Act RA10655 (HB05280), decriminalizing premature marriages, enacted on March 13, 2015," with premature marriage linking to Child Marriage. This link is incorrect. Child marriage is illegal in the Philippines. Republic Act RA10655 repeals Article 351 of Act No. 3815 of the revised penal code. Article 351 reads:

Art. 351. Premature marriages. Any widow who shall marry within three hundred and one day from the date of the death of her husband, or before having delivered if she shall have been pregnant at the time of his death, shall be punished by arresto mayor and a fine not exceeding 500 pesos. The same penalties shall be imposed upon any woman whose marriage shall have been annulled or dissolved, if she shall marry before her delivery or before the expiration of the period of three hundred and one day after the legal separation.

Republic Act RA10655 allows widows remarry before waiting 300 days. The act has nothing to do with child marriages. This interpretation is confirmed by an article in the Philippine Star.

I understand that the page is semi-protected. Can someone please fix the article? Thanks! 192.80.111.38 (talk) 23:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Leni Robredo's full name
The cited source "'Vote PH 2016: Leni Robredo'. Philippine Daily Inquirer. April 10, 2016. Retrieved April 12, 2016." states her full name as Maria Leonor Santo Tomas Gerona Robredo. However, this article states her full name as Maria Leonor "Leni" Santo Tomas Robredo (née Gerona). Shouldn't it be Maria Leonor "Leni" Gerona Robredo (born Maria Leonor Santo Tomas Gerona)? With Santo Tomas being the birth middle name, Gerona being the birth surname, and Robredo being the married surname. Leni is also being called as Leni Lugaw and being tagged as dilawan as she opposes the Duterte administration and she is also known as a puppet string of Liberal Party. Jollibinay (talk) 14:36, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. I have corrected the entry in the lead; oddly enough the Philippine name template got it right. Edit: Btw, whenever you are starting a discussion in the talk page, please post it below the page. Slightlymad (talk) 15:46, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

NPOV issues
This article has a lot of NPOV issues. "All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all of the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic" however I believe that this article does not abide by this rule because it uses politically charged statements and indiscriminate info. Some statements are also politically biased and just false. For example: I think there are more, but these are just the ones I spotted. ITSQUIETUPTOWN  talk • contribs 03:08, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "President Duterte called Robredo incompetent because she was a woman" - Not true. The reason stated was she was not capable of leading Philippines. source here
 * "Duterte supporters had tried to impeach her" - Also not true. Even though source is dead, the headline stated "Duterte wants impeachment bids against VP stopped" source here (not working anymore)
 * "Duterte supporters made fake news against her when she expressed her dissent for the Drug War" - not stated in source.
 * "Senator Leila de Lima reveals plot to ouster VP Robredo to be replaced by Bongbong Marcos" - unverified, accusation came from a detained opposition senator. source here
 * "Robredo criticized the proposed federal charter that would benefit political dynasties over economic bills' - editorialized, unsourced comment in bold. Also not in source given.
 * I have not checked the entire article but these are spot on. These needs to be either rephrased or removed.  Sub &#124;HMU 08:16, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

For their elections, maybe make it extended protected?
There's going to be a lot of opposition and even autoconfirmed users which will lead to an edit war. Would it be feasible to raise the level so only extended confirmed users may be able to edit? 112.198.254.161 (talk) 00:50, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

New York Times in the lead?
Why is New York Times, a publication foreign to the Philippines, used in the lead to qualify the character of Leni Robredo’s campaign? That information should be moved to the body, and should focus less on foreign interpretations of her campaign. 2600:1700:5890:69F0:95BD:4D37:3558:EDE5 (talk) 00:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

This page holds non-truths about former presidents and needs to be edited. There is no burden of evidence that the former president Ferdinand Marcos was a kleptocracy. This in itself is libel and this biography is biased to make the failed president-elect appear better than her opposition. BigpoppaMC (talk) 17:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi! Please provide edits requests of the form "please change X to Y". You must specify the changes you actually want and not simply say it needs to be edited because of reason x. Please also provide reliable sources regarding the edits you would need. Please reference this article WP:RS for a list of reliable sources to help you find the citations needed for your edits.
 * Regarding Marcos being a kleptocrat please provide sufficient sourcing that proves that he wasnt a kleptocrat. Currently existing reliable sources lean to the judgement that Ferdinand Marcos was indeed a kleptocrat. However if you would like to contest this, once again please provide sufficient sourcing that shows the opposite.
 * Regarding libel please provide sufficient sourcing that currently written segments of the article are false as per the definition of libel which can also be read here on wikipedia.
 * For bias, please show which segments you would like to change to retain the neutrality of this article. And provide reliable sources as mentioned repeatedly
 * Thank you and happy editing Firekiino (talk) 17:32, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Infobox
As the Infobox Officeholder template is generally intended for elected posts, it's not appropriate to indicate her role as chairperson of Angat Buhay within the infobox since the said position is not a elected post though such information can be (and has been) mentioned in the relevant sections of this article and the Angat Buhay page. I'll leave the decision to retain or remove such from editors that are more familiar with this matter. -Ian Lopez @ 12:56, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Cabinet positions and other agency positions are considered to be appointments than elected posts though. Anyway, if the template is more intended for government positions anyway, then it should be removed. I'll also likely do the same with removing the CDC officeholder section in the Arthur Tugade article if this is the case. Ganmatthew (talk • contribs) 16:04, 6 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Strong Retain. This is the organization that the former vice president is with right now after stepping down and this will keep her relevant in the national landscape, her being with the largest NGO in the country. Reyrefran (talk) 11:44, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The infobox is meant for government positions in general. Angay Buhay is an NGO. I mean, Donald Trump's infobox does not list his tenure as president of the Donald J. Trump Foundation for example. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 08:38, 22 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Please see Template:Infobox officeholder, head of an NGO is not an office but an occupation, add under personal occupation. Sciencefish (talk) 08:52, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Reyrefran: You are highly discouraged from continuing your edit war to include that box considering the points raised in this discussion and previous edit summaries. Chlod (say hi!) 09:39, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
