Diliman Dean of Engineering Department Rizalinda L. De Leon has also received flak for her now infamous memo urging students to participate in a September 21 mass action.

Well, the time for apology has come.

But instead of each person issuing a public apology, the trio chose to record a joint apology, titled “I’m sorry.”

Part of the apology states:

I’m sorry, so sorry
That I was such a fool
I didn’t know

6FC88363-659B-4AF6-B2A4-661C800941ECLONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – The Adobo Chronicles has just learned that Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo has been invited back to the London School of Economics.

Many will recall that Robredo was featured as a guest speaker at LES earlier this year.

However, the new invitation to Robredo is not for a speaking engagement.

Rather, Robredo will be asked to participate in an educational seminar on world currency.

Just this week, Robredo call on the the Duterte Administration and economic managers to explain to the Filipino people why the Philippine peso has dipped so fast and so low against the U.S. dollar. Critics have called her “clueless.”

Apparently, LES thought it proper to re-invite Robredo (now considered a speaker alumnus) so that she is better informed about laws and principles on economics, especially as they pertain to world currency.

”We don’t want her to be embarrassing herself and our school, an LES spokesperson said.

On Tuesday, she helped renovate classrooms at the Wawa Elementary School in Navotas City as part of the Brigada Eskwela program of the Department of Education (DepEd).

She enjoyed painting the walls of a classroom (in front of cameras) so much that she decided to launch her own classroom-painting program. Nationwide.

She’s calling it ‘Kulay-Buhay Program,’ mimicking her other advocacy, ‘Angat-Buhay.’

The Office of the Vice President is seeking volunteers to join Robredo in a year-round program of painting public schools across the country. No skills or experience necessary.

Well, that’s assuming of course that she is still the Vice President During that coming period.

To sign up, please contact the Office of the Vice President.
