MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Leni Robredo is not happy about the P95 Million reduction in the 2019 Budget of the Office of the Vice President, and she is filing a formal protest.
Under the P3.757 Trillion national budget proposed for 2019, the OVP will receive P447.6 Million which is almost P100 Million reduction from its 2018 budget.
In lodging her protest, Robredo said: “Paano na yung pa-merienda ko sa mga reporters or my foreign speaking enagements? Naunsyami tuloy yung plan to revisit the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.” (What happens now for the refreshments I offer to reporters, my foreign speaking engagements and my plan to revisit the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin?)
