BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – In a hastily-called press conference in the summer capital of the Philippines, Vice Presidential spokesperson Georgina Hernandez defended her boss’ wardrobe at last weekend’s graduation ceremonies of the Philippine Military Academy.
”There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the organizers of the ceremonies,” Hernandez said. “We were given the impression that the Vice President would be helping serve lugaw to the graduates and guests at the reception following the graduation program. That’s why Robredo wore an apron.”
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – All eyes were on Vice President Leni Robredo during the graduation ceremonies at the Philippine Military Academy last weekend.
No, not because she was seated right next to President Rodrigo Duterte, but because of what she was wearing — an exclusive design by her personal wardrobe consultant.
The one-piece, knee-length maroon dress was highlighted by a white lace front mantle. Robredo felt her outfit was stunning.
But when a netizen posted a photo which may have inspired the design of Robredo’s dress, all hell broke loose.
The VP immediately fired the unnamed consultant ( No, it wasn’t her spokesperson Georgina Hernandez).

With that statement, the Philippine Senate approved a new design of the robe they put on when acting as an impeachment court.
The design, proposed by Senators Risa Hontiveros and Bam Aquino, mimics that of the robe used by Canada’s Supreme Court.
The new red and white design is closer to a Santa Claus robe without the hat. It replaces the maroon velvet robe that is commonly seen draping statues of Jesus Christ and saints at Catholic churches.
”We can’t wait to debut the new robe at the Impeachment trial of Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno,” Hontiveros and Aquino told The Adobo Chronicles.
