Vice President Leni Robredo and her daughters have returned to the Philippines over the weekend after attending her youngest daughter, Jillian's graduation in New York City.
"We’re back. Ready to work again. Energized by the longest vacation I’ve had in 10 years," Robredo said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
According to Robredo, she had to decline some invitations she received for meetings as they only had two weeks to spend in the city.
"I promised the girls that, for this trip, all my time will be devoted to them; so whatever lunches or dinners we’ve had with friends were all, somehow, connected to them," she said.
Before her two-week trip, the outgoing VP announced that she would be launching the launching of the Angat Buhay non-governmental organization (NGO) – the country's largest volunteers network – on July 1, a day after her term ends on June 30.
Robredo trailed behind President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in the recently-concluded presidential race with 14 million votes as compared to the former senator’s 31 million votes.
