MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In her first meeting as Co-chair of the Inter-agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD), Vice President Leni Robredo asked for data.

Her request seemed to contrast with her previous video message to the United Nations where she criticized her government’s war on drugs by citing “data” on alleged extra-judicial killings (EJKs).

Robrdo said she wantd data “because before today, I did not have access to the kind of data that you had access to.”

In responding to her request, the committee unanimously approved her request for data and loaded her iPhone with three years’ worth of unlimited data. It was a donation from Globe Communications.

Now, she will have no problems making calls or sending text messages on her phone, as well as having wi-fi access 24/7.

All she had to do was ask.
