Despite not being part of the cabinet and the
limitations of the office of the Vice President , Robredo has given herself a
passing grade as the second highest official of the land for the first half of
her 6 year term.
“Kami naman, for the past three years, nagtrabaho
kami despite the limitations. Tingin ko pagdating sa pag-maximize ng
opportunities, nagawa namin iyon,” she said in Ocampo, Camarines Sur on
Thursday.
(We, for the past three years, have worked despite
the limitations. I think when it comes to maximizing opportunities, we have
done that.)
Robredo, once occupied the office of being the
housing chief, but eventually resigned after having major differences of
opinion with president Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
The current pace of her office helping the masses,
she acknowledges that there is much to do to really improve the poverty in the
country.
“Sobrang dami pa ng kailangang gawin. Sobrang dami
pa ng mga communities na kailangang tulungan. Sobrang kulang ng panahon, kulang
na kulang iyong resources,” she said.
(We have much work to do. There are still many
communities that are in need of help. We lack time and resources.)
“Less than three years iyong naiiwan sa amin, para
kaming naghahabol—naghahabol na at least pagdating sa finish line, mas marami
kaming buhay na nabago,” Robredo added.
(With less than three years left, it seemed we are
catching up so that at least when we reach the finish line, we have changed
more lives.)
