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.

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?)
