Binatikos ni RR sa kanyang Instagram account ang mga netizens na ginamit ang pink ribbon upang ipakita ang kanilang suporta kay Robredo.
Sa kanyang post, ipinaliwanag ni RR na ‘Breast Cancer Awareness Month’ ang buwan ng October at “pink ribbon” ang ginagamit na simbolo nito.

Maging ang kanyang mga kapwa artista ay hindi nakaligtas sa pagpuna ni RR na gumamit rin ng color pink para suportahan si Robredo.
“Yung ibang mga artista, influencer na nag post ng Pink sana huwag din tayong insensitive. Ok lang isupport nyo sya as your President. Pero not to the point na may sasagasaan or ididisrespect,” post ni RR.

“Tapos yung iba ang lakas ng loob nyo mag post ng Pink pero yung tunay na meaning nyan as breast cancer awareness ni hindi nyo mapost at masupport!!!!” dagdag niya.
Kamakailan ay inanunsyo ni Robredo ang kanyang pagtakbo bilang presidente sa darating na Halalan 2022.

I know there’s a lot of color na ginagamit sa breast cancer awareness but mainly pink ribbon talaga. So when I saw that ribbon post, yung breast cancer awareness agad naisip ko.
Super insensitive para sa mga taong lumalaban sa buhay nila ng dahil sa cancer.
Yung ibang mga artista, influencer na nag post ng Pink sana huwag din tayong insensitive. Ok lang isupport nyo sya as your President. Pero not to the point na may sasagasaan or ididisrespect.

The Pink Ribbon has been the international symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness since it started in the early nineties. IT IS APOLITICAL. It does not have any political affiliation.

To use it all of a sudden as a political symbol for an ambition to grab the highest position in the land is an insult and a disrespect to the women (and some men) who suffered, battled against and courageously fought against breast cancer. It is a mockery to the individuals who are passionate in spreading awareness for breast cancer, which happens to be celebrated this month. Unless one is speaking at a breast cancer awareness forum or unless one has crafted laws that have truly benefitted breast cancer patients and survivors, or unless one is a staunch ally and supporter of the breast cancer awareness causes, then one should stop using such symbol.
Again, the Pink Ribbon is the international symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness. It is not a symbol for political ambitions nor a logo of a political party and surely not a symbol for the "frailties of a woman".
