Leni Robredo Apologizes For Being Vice President

84E73CE5-3999-4F97-AB3A-58DB0D547B79MANILA, 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.

43A41286-6C59-4B26-9F11-C82571DC44F0QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Not Subject To Fact-checking by Rappler – ABS-CBN has just announced that it was renaming its new prime-time TV series, “The Junketeers.”

The new show features Vice President Leni Robredo and other politicians and former government officials on their exciting journey through cities in Europe.

The first episode of the series documents the group’s visit to the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.  The group was, however, criticized for photos taken showing that they were all smiles, despite the Memorial’s supposedly somber mood.

Robredo later apologized for the insensitivity of the photo shoot. And so did Ifugao Congressman Ted Baguilat Jr. who first  posted the Holocaust Memorial photo on his social media account.

Soon thereafter, ABS-CBN decided to rename the series, “The Apologists”
