Kakampinks Get Sentimental Over VP Leni Robredo’s Eventful Last Days in Office

Jun 30, 2022   •   Kyzia Maramara

Today, Vice President Leni Robredo spent her last day in office. Tomorrow, June 30, Vice President-elect Sara Duterte-Carpio will officially start her term. But while it’s still June 29, VP Leni’s supporters are flooding social media with appreciation posts thanking the VP for the past six years. Even as she steps down from her post, VP Leni’s office even received good news to cap her term as one of the greatest vice presidents the Philippines ever had.

Here are a few key moments during VP Leni’s last official day in office:

 

VP Leni leaves the Quezon City Reception House

 

For the last time as the sitting vice president, VP Leni leaves her office of six years. Her security detail gives her a send-off as she’s seen waving from inside the van.

 

COA grants OVP an ‘unqualified opinion’

The Commission on Audit granted the Office of the Vice President an ‘unqualified opinion’ for the fourth consecutive year since 2018. This means the OVP’s financial reports are all accounted for and in order. VP Leni herself proudly shared the news to Filipinos on the afternoon of her last day in office. It was indeed a fitting exclamation point to the end of an era.

 

Her portrait is hung on the wall

Signifying her stepping down from office, a portrait of VP Leni is seen placed on the wall alongside previous vice presidents. “It truly is the end,” captions Rappler reporter Mara Cepeda.

 

Family day for her staff

Last June 27, VP Leni held a “family day” for the friends and family of her OVP staff. Children were entertained by a clowns, balloons, a body paint booth, and free ice cream. VP Leni thanked her staff for keeping things running for the past six years.

“Whether it is fate or destiny, pipiliin at pipiliin ko na magsilbi sa inyo,” said VP Leni’s chief-of-staff Usec Boyet Dy during his farewell speech which was met with applause.

 

A final family photo

Of course, VP Leni’s three daughters — Aika, Tricia, and Jillian — won’t miss their mother’s historic last day in office. Aika, the eldest, shared two family photos on social media six years apart, her mother’s first and last day as vice president.

 

Netizens pay tribute to VP Leni

Supporters trended “VP Leni,” “Maraming salamat,” and “TOTGA” (the one that got away), on social media with posts commemorating the VP’s past six years in office.

 

What’s next?

Although VP Leni will be officially stepping down from office on June 30, her supporters still have something to look forward to. Her new focus will be on the Angat Buhay NGO campaign which is set to formally launch on July 1. Those planning to attend have to register first to be allowed into the venue.
