During the Antipolo City People’s Rally on April 5, Vice President Leni Robredo responded to a netizen’s request to attend her graduation.
The two first met at the Robredo-Pangilinan tandem’s campaign rally in Rizal province, where Robredo saw the student’s message while she was on stage.
The netizen wrote on a piece of paper which the Vice President read, “Leni, wala akong mama sa graduation, baka pwedeng ikaw na lang?”
Without hesitation, Robredo responded that she be there. She inquired when the graduation would be, “Sure, kailan ang graduation mo?”
Upon hearing the good news, it made the student overjoyed.
VP Leni added, “October, kaya sabihan mo ako.”
By the Vice President’s commitment to attend the graduation, the netizen later tweeted and publicly announced that she already has a mother in her graduation, referring to Robredo.
