NAGA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Naga Bureau) – Taking a short break from monitoring the Mayon Volcano eruption on a giant swing, ex-Vice President Leni Robredo today paid tribute to all her fellow Independents.

Philippine Independence Day is commemorated every June 12.

In a statement, an advanced copy of which was obtained by The Adobo Chronicles, Robredo said:

“I salute all my fellow Independents on this special day. I am happy we are given one day each year to flaunt our Independent status. To this day, I have no regrets running as an Independent in the 2022 Philippine presidential elections. It is time Filipinos looked beyond partisan politics when choosing their leaders. Mabuhay tayo!”
