TACLOBAN, Leyte (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Never underestimate a woman, especially if she is Vice President.  She could beat any man in a race to be first.

For several days now, many Filipinos have been wondering why the usually talkative Leni Robredo has been silent over the devastation brought about by typhoon Urduja to the Eastern Visayas.

Well, the wondering is over.

Yesterday, when President Rodrigo Duterte flew over Eastern Visayas to inspect the typhoon damage, he was surprised to spot Robredo already on the ground visiting with victims.

”Naunahan ako ng P*tang *na,” Duterte was overheard saying aboard the Presidential helicopter.

It wasn’t clear whether the Vice President flew by plane or took the bus to the Visayas.
