Netizens laud VP Robredo's inaugural speech

Following Vice President Leni Robredo’s 11-minute inaugural speech on Thursday, netizens tweeted their praise and admiration via the hashtags #ParaSaLaylayan and #VPLeni.

Robredo’s speech focused on her political journey and her advocacy of reaching out to the fringes of society—the so-called “laylayan ng lipunan”.

In her speech, Robredo promised that her office would always be open to those who need her, regardless of economic status, beliefs and political affiliation.

“Tayo ay magiging tanggapan na palaging nakikinig sa boses ng taumbayan,” she said.

You made us proud. We are one with you #VPLeni ????
