Vivian Velez is under fire from netizens after she slammed Vice President Leni Robredo’s outfit in her speech.
In a Facebook post last August 24, 2020, the veteran actress slammed VP Leni for her outfit during her speech. Velez coined VP Leni’s speech and outfit ‘ the worst political branding’. Velez even went so far as to throw shade at VP Leni’s intelligence.
Netizens reacted to Velez’s post via Twitter.

As a child of the 80s, I know of Vivian Velez. Up to now, as an adult, I have no clue as to why she is relevant.

Why are you so disturbed that the VP looks presidential, Vivian Velez? Because she is 🙂 because the VP doesn’t even look like she needs training. Whereas your Tatay doesn’t just NOT look presidential. He can’t even act like one anymore.
