Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque on Thursday congratulated the daughter of Vice President Leni Robredo for passing the 2020 licensure examination for medical doctors.

Tricia Robredo, a graduate of the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health, joined over 3,500 individuals who passed the exam, which was topped by Jomel Lapides of the University of the Philippines Manila.

“Congratulations po sa lahat ng bagong doctor! Congratulations po sa anak ni VP Robredo! Sana ang mga anak ko rin ay mag-graduate din at maging doctor din,” Roque said at a press briefing in Quezon.

Roque also extended his greetings to other new doctors and their parents.

“Sa panahon ng pandemya, talagang kayo po ang mga bagong bayani at inaasahan po natin na dadagsa po ang magbibigay ng tulong medical sa ating bayan habang wala pa pong solusyon sa pandemya,” he said.
