Nagpahayag ng kagalakan at pasasalamat si Bise Presidente Leni Robredo noong Biyernes Hunyo 17 matapos matanggap sa Harvard Medical School ang kanyang anak na si Doc. Tricia Robredo.
Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng Bise Presidente na si Tricia ay tinanggap sa paaralan para sa Master of Medical Sciences sa Global Health Delivery program.
Sinabi ni Leni na kailangan ni Tricia na ipagpaliban ang pagpasok niya sa isang residency program nang dalawang beses.
“After passing the Medical Boards, Tricia had to postpone getting into a Residency Program twice. The first one was when I asked her to help us out with our Covid Response Operations. When our Covid situation got a little better, she planned on starting her Residency in January 2022,” aniya.
“When I suddenly decided to run in October 2021, she felt I would need her in the campaign and decided to forgo it the second time.”
“Since she became a licensed doctor, and while helping me on the side, she has been consistently doing hospital work as an ER Doctor and also doing clinical work. But, aside from these, she has also immersed herself in several public health projects and had a deeper understanding of how health care is delivered to our communities.
“She wanted to do more about the situation and started writing correspondences about the different realities she was exposed to. Several of her works were published in medical journals. That was when she learned that this was what she wanted to pursue.”
Sinabi ng Bise Presidente na alam na nila na pasok na si Tricia sa Harvard ngunit hinintay nilang ma-finalize ang lahat bago ibinahagi sa iba ang magandang balita.
“We knew of the acceptance earlier but decided to keep it to ourselves until everything was finalized. Super grateful for this huge blessing. Aika Tricia Jillian.”
