Presidential Candidate
10. ROBREDO, LENI
INDEPENDENT

Leni Robredo, 56, is currently serving as the 14th vice president of the Philippines. Her office has
garnered the highest audit rating from the Commission on Audit for three consecutive years
(2018-2020) and has been recognized by Malacañang for its pandemic response programs
across the country.

Her flagship program as vice president, Angat Buhay, is an anti-poverty program providing
and coordinating support through multiple advocacy areas, namely food security and
nutrition, healthcare, public education, rural development, housing and resettlement and
women empowerment. The Angat Buhay Program has mobilized at least P520 million worth of
resources for the benefit of 321,000 families and 223 communities nationwide, according to
the latest updates as of this writing.

Robredo has also led numerous relief operations through the Office of the Vice President. The
same office manages a comprehensive COVID-19 response program that offers a range of
assistance projects such as free transportation services to frontliners, free teleconsultation
services nationwide, handling logistics and manpower to transmit vaccine supply from the
national government task force to local government units and vaccine express sites in
partnership with LGUs.

She first entered public office as representative of Camarines Sur’s third congressional district
in 2013, less than a year after the death of her husband, then-Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo.
Prior to this, Robredo worked as a lawyer with a focus on legal developmental work and
providing legal assistance to marginalized clients.

In her lone term in the House of Representatives, Robredo principally authored three bills that
were signed into law, including the Tax Incentives Management and Transparency Act.

If elected, Robredo says she will spend her first 100 days in office strengthening the country’s
response to the coronavirus pandemic.
