Statement of Vice President Leni Robredo on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Kaisa ako ng bawat Katoliko sa pagdiriwang ng Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Pagkakataon ang araw na ito upang pagnilayan ang Birheng Maria: Conceived without original sin; napupuno ng grasya mula pa sa sinapupunan. Sinasalamin nito ang kaisipan: Sa pag-ibig ng Maykapal, lahat nagagawang dalisay.
Nawa’y manatiling matatag ang ating pananalig, at patuloy natin itong isadiwa sa pagtakwil sa kasalanan, at palaging pagmamahal at pagtulong sa ating kapwa.

Mensahe ng Pangalawang Pangulo sa Pagdiriwang ng Kapanganakan ni Gat. Andres Bonifacio
Sa araw na ito, ipinagdiriwang natin ang anibersaryo ng kapanganakan ni Andres Bonifacio.
Maraming bagay si Bonifacio—Batang Tondo, Dakilang Maralita, minsang bodegero at mensahero, Supremo ng Katipunan, Ama ng Himagsikang Pilipino. Higit sa lahat, kinikilala natin siya bilang matapang na tao.
Hindi pakitang-tao ang tapang na ito. Ito ang tapang na hindi basta-basta tumitiklop dahil mahirap ang landas na hinaharap. Nakaugat ito sa pagmamahal sa kapwa Pilipino; sa paninindigan na wala dapat naaapi o napapaba...

Message of Vice President Leni Robredo on the Commemoration of the Liberation of Marawi City
Three years ago, the government declared the “liberation” of Marawi City after a months-long siege. We remember the innocents who lost their lives in this conflict. We honor our soldiers— those who exhibited courage and determination during those dark, dangerous months, especially those who fell, making the ultimate sacrifice for peace.
To this day, thousands of Marawi's residents remain displaced, its buildings remain in ruins, and the city has yet to reclaim any semblance of normalcy, much less its f...

Statement of VP Leni Robredo on the Passing of Baby River Nasino
Last Friday, Oct. 9, we learned of the passing of Baby River, the three-month-old child of detained community organizer Reina Mae Nasino.
Baby River was separated from her mother just one month after birth, with the court denying multiple pleas for Reina Mae to be with her baby who was then in critical condition.
With Baby River’s passing, we support the calls for the temporary release of Reina Mae so that she can be with her family and loved ones during this difficult time. This is the least we could do for a mother who lost he...

MENSAHE NI VICE PRESIDENT LENI ROBREDO SA ANIBERSARYO NG DEKLARASYON NG MARTIAL LAW
Ngayong araw, ginugunita natin bilang nagkakaisang bansa ang proklamasyon ng Martial Law noong 1972— isang proklamasyong naging simula ng madilim na kabanata ng ating kasaysayan. Napapanahon ang pag-alala na ito, lalo na ngayong dumadaan muli ang ating bansa sa isang mabigat na pagsubok.
In a time when divisiveness is the norm and the gaps in society continue to widen, it is essential that we strive to find more spaces of commonality. We do this not only by looking forward to a shared horizon, where our shared ...
