Vice President Leni Robredo’s daughter Dr. Tricia Robredo called on netizens who are making jokes out of Martial Law abuses to stop.
In a tweet, Tricia reacted to a screenshot of a comment made by someone pretending to be her on New York University’s graduation live stream.
“I’m not sure what bothers me more: being impersonated on the comments section of the live stream of my sister’s graduation or people thinking that this is something to joke about. Hindi nakakatawa at hindi nakakatuwa. Pakiusap – please stop,” Tricia said.
She added that people should not throw jokes about Martial Law atrocities.
“You’re concerned about historical revisionism but you joke about nutribun and red-tagging, as if these are things to be taken lightly. I will never reduce the atrocities of Martial Law for clout and entertainment. Neither should you,” she added.
VP Robredo is currently with her daughters in New York to attend her youngest Jillian’s graduation. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in Mathematics and Economics.

VP Robredo said they will be away for a few days “to spend time with family and take a well-deserved rest.”
“This is the first time since my husband died in 2012 that we will be travelling again as a family with no work to take care of. We are sorry if we cannot accept the numerous requests for meet ups. We will do that some other time in the future. For now, we just need to spend as much time together,” she said.
