QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – It is common knowledge that ex-Vice President Leni Robredo flunked the bar on her first try.

Now an attorney, she has yet to share at least one case that she handled — and won.

But at least, she says she’s now an expert on litigation and criminal law.

She just needs clients who trust in her expertise and ability.

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – During the 2022 Philippine presidential campaign, then candidate and Vice President Leni Robredo portrayed herself as a very dedicated public servant, working 18 hours a day, every day.

Well, it turns out she lied. She herself said it.

In a speech at the University of the Philippines, Robredo admitted she worked Monday to Friday, during regular work hours at the Public Attorney’s Office. (Work hours at government offices is 8am to 5pm, with an hour’s break for lunch. Offices are closed Saturdays and Sundays.)

So that makes 8 hours, not 18!
