MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – GMA News is reporting that Vice President Leni Robredo has apologized for the viral photo showing her and other politicians posing before the camera — with all smiles — at the otherwise solemn and somber Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.

The photo, first posted by Ifugao Congressman Ted Baguilat Jr., was met with widespread criticism for the insensitivity to the historical significanc of the Memorial.

But apparently, GMA News misquoted Robredo.  What she actually said was that she was apologizing for being Vice President.

Apology accepted.
