Robredo said after she’s proclaimed as the VP-elect on Monday she will form a transition team and she will make a courtesy call to incoming President Rodrigo Duterte.
Robredo wants to take over the Department of Social Welfare and Development to streamline the anti-poverty programs.
“Ako very vocal naman ako from the very start, na yung area of expertise ko kasi ay anti-poverty programs, at ang pinaka ahensya siguro para mas komprehensibo ang program patungkol diyan ay ang DSWD” she said.
