It was great to have an audience with Leni Robredo, Vice President of the Philippines Extraordinaire! To walk in her shoes and continue to dream and fight for the Philippines despite the put-downs, unfair games, and being sidelined by Rodrigo Duterte. My learning from that meeting was that much work is being done —much fighting for the Filipinos is being done by her team despite the lack of hype and attention to her projects.  Through her strength and courage, she models for us what is good in the Filipino. Her ideas on upliftment of the poor through grassroots financing and livelihood programs are a feat most especially since the barangay heads are very fearful of supporting her.

She feels alone in her fight for all of us. For the people and with the people –a true public servant.
